International workshop
on black sigatoka control
and sustainable production
of banana in the Caribbean
Background
Bananas: the world’s top fruit crop
The banana is the world’s top fruit crop. It plays a vital role in national economies and in
food security. The Caribbean region is a major banana producer, with 2.8% of world
production and 4.7% of world exports. In the French Antilles, banana production is the chief
agricultural activity. It is also the largest private employer with 0.8 MWU (Man Work Unit)
per hectare and more than 6,000 direct employees.
The threat of black Sigatoka
However, banana production in the entire Caribbean region is under threat from the
emergence of serious diseases, particularly Black Leaf Streak (BLSD), also known as black
Sigatoka. The appearance of this fungal disease has already significantly reduced production
for export in the islands of St. Lucia and St. Vincent. A similar scenario is likely in recently
infected islands including the French West Indies and Dominica, if effective control of the
disease is not swiftly implemented.
Controlling Sigatoka
Management of Sigatoka currently consists of regular applications of fungicides and
biological warning systems, combined with cropping practices such as the removal of
diseased leaves. The future use of Sigatoka-tolerant varieties will complement this control
strategy, in addition to being more sustainable and environmentally friendly. This will apply
to all types of banana production, both for export and local markets.
Ongoing research
Much research is currently being carried out, particularly by CIRAD, to develop or improve
methods of controlling Sigatoka. This research requires numerous skills and complementary
techniques in epidemiology, breeding for BLSD resistance, and agroecology. This research
has already enabled farmers to drastically reduce their use of chemical treatments and has
made possible the development of sustainable farming systems.

International workshop
on black sigatoka control
and sustainable production
of banana in the Caribbean
Objective of the seminar
Faced with the socio-economic impact of the crisis caused by the spread of BLSD in the
Caribbean, region-wide coordinated mobilization is essential to optimize and hasten the
development of effective and sustainable control methods. This mobilization began in 2006
with a workshop organized by CIRAD which gave birth to two projects: Cabaré and Banane
Durable Caraïbe. A new phase in sharing Sigatoka research results was reached at a seminar
organized last March in Havana by the Cirad, UGPBAN, IT² and their Cuban partners. In a
similar vein, another seminar will be held in Guadeloupe on the initiative of CIRAD, UGPBAN
and IT² from June 25 to 27.
These seminars facilitate sharing of research results and aim to set up a regional platform for
research and experimentation in plant health, particularly emerging banana diseases.
The seminars have received financial support from the European Interreg IV Programme,
through the Interreg Cabaré and Banane Durable Caraïbe projects.

International workshop
on black sigatoka control
and sustainable production
of banana in the Caribbean
Programmes involved
Interreg
Interreg is a European program promoting regional cooperation in the Greater Caribbean,
from Mexico to northern South America. The primary purpose of Interreg is to better
integrate the French Departments of America in their natural geographical space. Interreg
Caribbean finances projects such as Banane Durable Caraïbe and Cabaré.
More details: http://www.interreg-caraibes.org/
Interreg Cabaré
The Cabaré project (2011-2015) aims to create a network of scientific and technical partners,
working for sustainable control of viral and fungal diseases of bananas in the Caribbean.
CIRAD is coordinating this project which funded by the Interreg IV Caribbean, in partnership
with three Cuban research institutes and one Dominican Institute. Scientists model the
dispersion of diseases, estimate the health risks associated with the use of new BLSD-
resistant banana hybrids and implement technical procedures for their deployment.
Interreg Banane Durable Caraïbe
Established and funded through the Interreg IV Programme, the Banane Durable Caraïbe
project (2010-2013) aims to disseminate technical innovations to producers throughout the
Caribbean. These innovations will improve the sustainability of banana cropping systems and
reduce environmental impacts.
The Plan Banane Durable
The Plan Banane Durable (Sustainable Banana Plan) was signed in 2008 by the Guadeloupe &
Martinique Banana producers’ group, the Ministry of Agriculture and local authorities. The
producers’ group wishes to ensure sustainable social, economic and environmental
production. CIRAD has joined forces with IT² to develop and evaluate innovative and efficient
cropping systems.
