Fancy a traditional English fry-up for breakfast? How about a chicken curry or some kimchi? Or would a lamb samosa and some baba ganoush from a halal kitchen be more to your taste?

                    [Summary] => Recent developments indicate that Philippine agriculture’s competitiveness is under siege by no less than our trading partners who we considered dear and close to us.


Years back, hopes were high that joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) would open up many possibilities for a developing country like the Philippines. As we raced to push our agricultural products to new frontiers, we were naïve enough to think that our trading partners would welcome our produce with open arms.

                    [Summary] => While banana growing remains one of the more lucrative ventures in agriculture, recent developments indicate that the local banana industry will be facing some serious challenges which can threaten its viability. As such, leaders of the local banana industry are asking the government for help.


In recent years banana plantations have played an increasingly important part in the Philippine economy, particularly in Mindanao. According to the Department of Trade and Industry, bananas comprise about 60 percent of the income from the exports in the Southern Mindanao.
