Mr Tetang is an organic farmer operating far from the big banana due to the use of pesticides and the contamination of the soil and ground water. Mr Tetang grows organic pineapples and papaya for export with a Global Gap certification. "We cultivate fruit in general, but focusing on biological pineapples and papayas. Initially we worked in the region of Njombe-Penja, but because of the pollution due to the intensive use of pesticides, we had to move further away from the region."
