During the opening ceremony of the XIV International Banana Forum, organized by the Association of Banana Exporters of Ecuador – AEBE – held on October 2 in Guayaquil, the Ecuadorian entrepreneur, Luis Aviles Uscocovich, received recognition for his quilted bio-blanket proposal, made from rice paddy and banana rachis fiber, which recovers arid soils, absorbs seven times its weight in water and allows better use of fertilizers.
This product is endorsed by the Center for Biotechnological Research of ESPOL, CEEMP and is part of the winning projects of the Bank of Ideas of Senescyt.
