WAWA BANANA CHIPS
Wawa banana chips is owned by Sepe George Younstrom from Lelu, Kosrae. Her locally produced banana chips products have been a favorite for many of our visitors. Demand for her product locally and off-island was present, however the pandemic caused her company to temporarily close down. Wawa banana chips will eventually be sold again at its Kosrae airport lounge booth.
