Two production lines avoid the seasonal-raw-material risk: banana chips can run on slightly older fruit; powder needs younger fruit and longer drying. Anchor procurement on a 200–300 farmer collective. Export-grade certification (ISO 22000 minimum, BRC if budget allows) opens international demand for banana flour.
