In 2004, however, the country managed to post a slight edge over Thailand. Nonetheless, the data masks the fact that the Cavendish farms in Mindanao are among the best in the world. Table 5.5.1.

5.5.14 Philippine bananas commanded the lowest producer price in Asia. This may be due to the following reasons: (1) for Cavendish bananas, the plantations are relatively cost-efficient; and (2) for the native bananas, minimal maintenance expenses are incurred since the usual practice is to just leave the trees alone. Table 5.5.2.

Lakatan is not competitive with exports as domestic prices are higher than derived export prices. While there are potentials for expanding exports considering that lakatan can compete in terms of cost, there are constraints related to poor farm practices – from product handling to packaging and distribution, limited farm budget for higher chemical use, and low productivity levels, as well as cultural preferences for Cavendish in markets like Japan, Hong Kong and China (UA&P Foundation, 2000). Further, the relatively favorable prices in the domestic market which does not impose any quality requirements also leads farmers to prefer to serve it rather than the more discriminating export market. 5.5.17 Saba, meanwhile, is competitive in both the domestic and export markets (UA&P Foundation, 2000). The cost of producing saba is said to be very low (since farm maintenance activities are usually very minimal) making it a strong candidate for export. Similar to lakatan, however, there are constraints on productivity, production volumes, and cultural preferences of importing countries. 5- 37
