Eco-friendly banana fibre products drawing crowds at Hornbill fest

Kohima: Banana fibre products are drawing huge crowds at the ongoing Hornbill Festival being held in the Kisama village of Nagaland.

Eco-friendly and organic products such as baskets, dusters, coasters, bags, vermicompost and decorative pieces, all made out of banana fibre, are on offer at the ‘Bamboo Pavilion’ that consists of 117 stalls displaying all ‘Made in Nagaland’ products by local entrepreneurs.

The products have been brought by Amity Banana Fiber & Allied Products, whose stall is being displayed for the first time at Hornbill Festival. Imlimenla Jamir, promoter of the company, has been actively involved in the sector for the past several years.
