                    [Summary] => Australia may not allow entry of Philippine bananas even after initial  assurance from the Australian government  that its food trade safety group Biosecurity Australia was on track to produce a draft import risk assessment  (IRA) on locally produced bananas, a top government official who requested anonymity  disclosed yesterday.


"It seems Australia  will still not allow entry of Philippine bananas to its territory even after initial assurance from the Australian government," the source said.
