To effectively achieve these tasks, the R&D performance for the different commodities has to be assessed and reviewed. The fruit industry contributes significantly to the country’s economy in terms of employment, income, and foreign exchange generated from sales of both fresh and processed fruits. The fruit sector occupies almost 600,000 ha, including at least 20 different fruit crops. It is estimated that about 10 M (million) people are dependent on the fruit industry alone. Fruit cultivation not only provides employment and income, but it also supplements Filipino diet and offers ecological benefits such as soil erosion control, better micro-environment, enhanced landscape and aesthetic values, and complements reforestation and agroforestry efforts. The R&D Directions for the two major fruit crops: banana and mango, presented in this volume will provide the R&D community and decision/policy makers with information on the industries’ competitiveness, challenges/issues that lie ahead, and the required science and technology (S&T) interventions to address the R&D gaps. It also presents the industry status for mango and banana, and major R&D programs to improve the industries’ performance. It is hoped that the farmers, extension agents, researchers, and policy makers will benefit from the information contained in this volume. PATRICIO S.
