  • Government earns more than Php1.5 Billion in
    taxes from the industry annually.
  • Development of related support industries
    (transport, arrastre, food, consumer goods,
    manpower services) in 11 Mindanao provinces.

    and housing in the communities where we operate,
    specifically
  • Increased literacy rate in banana producing
    areas
  • Improved access to basic health services
  • Migration back to family instead of having to

12
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT AERIAL SPRAYING?
13
High Sigatoka Disease Incidence
  • High leaf loss
  • Low bunch weight
  • Malformed fruits
  • Premature Ripening
  • Slow sucker growth

14
Fruits ripen while in transit to the market which
will result to the rejection of the whole
shipment.
UNACCEPTABLE FRUIT IN THE MARKET
15
WHAT ARE THE FACTS?
  • The banana industry abides by all the
    implementing rules and regulations of the FPA
    the DENR and the laws of the Republic of the
    Philippines.
  • The use and application of fungicides nutrients
    by aerial spraying in the banana industry is
    based on GAP.

16
  • Aerial spraying with fungicides is still the
    safest and the most cost-effective practice to
    effectively and economically control leaf
    diseases affecting bananas.
  • Without leaf disease control, quality-fruit
    cannot be produced and exported economically.

17
  • There is an established close monitoring system
    and strict supervision of the proper aerial
    spraying procedures as well as close coordination
    with the community to ensure the safe use of
    fungicides.
  • We are in the business of protecting the
    environment and the community as we produce safe
    and healthy quality banana.
