Bananas are one of the most widely grown and economically significant fruit crops in the Philippines, generating approximately $200-million annually from fresh fruit exports. As the country’s major export earner after coconut and prawns, bananas are vital to rural livelihoods and agricultural growth. In 2005, the Philippines ranked fifth globally in banana production volume, solidifying its role as a key player in the global market.
Despite this success, the industry continues to face challenges due to pests and diseases, which cause poor-quality produce, reduced yields, and market rejections. But worry no more! Our second online course on banana production—Managing Common Diseases in Banana—is here to help you tackle the most common banana pests and diseases such as bugtok, bunchy top, yellow sigatoka, black sigatoka, and more.
Empower yourself with practical knowledge and strategies to improve your banana farming practices, increase yields, and ensure high-quality produce.
