Duran’s Banana Fritters A “Golden” Taste Of Banana Many people remember Duran, Duran as one of the most successful bands in the 80s. But to the people of the “Healing Island of Siquijor”, Duran is the maker of the best banana fritters, crackers and sticks. Duran is the family name of Alejandro or Butch, as he is fondly called. The making of banana fritters had its origins from a cooperative in their area, of which Butch’s wife is a member. With the disintegration of the group, the Durans decided to buy the utensils that the group had acquired and started their own home industry. While they were producing their own banana fritters, they took note of their customer’s feedbacks and adjusted their recipe. The trial and error method lasted for a year until they finally developed the right mix. From Siquijor, their market expanded to Dumaguete, Bohol and Bacolod. In an International Food Expo in the Mall of Asia in Manila sometime in 2000, Butch had to decline an order from a foreign buyer to supply 42,000 kilos of banana fritters a month. While he was ecstatic over the potential of his product, the order was simply unbelievable. How DOST came into the picture is a tale that Butch loves to relate. In one of his visits to the province, DOST Regional Director, Burt Llanto, came to know about the sad state of Duran’s. Only one big cooking vat (kawa), was used in a very limited space to produce his tasty banana fritters. A small grant was provided and this enabled him to purchase a two-burner ceramic stove, a stainless-top table and two cooking vats. It was also about this time that DTI assisted him in marketing his products. DOST’s technology assistance through SET-UP finally came in 2004. To upgrade the capability of Duran’s 79 DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY VII Product Catalogue 2011 banana processing, the following were acquired: vacuum sealer, mechanized banana sticks cutter, banana chips cutter, stainless tables, basins and trays, and a digital thermometer. Trainings on the operation and maintenance of these equipment and Good Manufacturing Practices were conducted by DOST. As a concrete impact of this assistance, the usual 30 kilos a day of banana crackers has now become 120 kilos, four times more than what they originally produced. “Kung wa pa ang DOST, dili ko ka produce ani.” (Without DOST, I could not produce this.) DOST likewise improved their packaging which was previously done in regular plastic and paper. Sales correspondingly increased way beyond the projected 100% through participation in events. An example of this is the fair during the Sandugo Festival in Bohol in 2005, wherein their products were all sold during the morning of the first day of the festival. The fame of Duran’s products likewise resulted in the conversion of the main product of Lazi, from ceramics to banana, in the One Town, One Product (OTOP) program of DTI. And May 14 of every year has been named, “Saging Festival”(Banana Festival). Duran was also awarded as a Regional Finalist of the “Idol of TESDA”. His contribution to the community and innovative approach earned him this recognition. He negotiated with three landowners of idle lands to plant these spaces with banana for five years with an agreed sharing of produce, and return these lands after that time. To add to his knowledge, he took up classes in horticulture. This family endeavor, which started with a husband, wife and two children, now has 10 workers who are non-family members. Patience is a virtue that one needs to have in constant supply while starting a business. Butch remembered that when he started and approached sari-sari stores to buy his products, they refused since it was not only common but they alleged that they already know the taste of the products. But this has changed since then. Asked what their secret is, Butch noted, “ Kinahanglan na happy ang grupo magluto.” (It is important that the group is happy while cooking.) He added that there should be a harmonious working environment. He noticed that when there were attitudinal concerns among the workers, the products would taste differently. Whether his observation is in fact a factor to seriously consider, is not for anyone to prove. What is significant is that Duran’s products have an unbeatable taste that only connoisseurs of banana products know. Duran’s Banana Fritters Ytaya, Lazi, Siquijor Mr. Alejandro E.
