I could not forget the feedback I got from one of my importers when they move to other countries because of price difference. I was told that the end buyers themselves are complaining when he did that due to obvious reason ….

“bananas from other exporting countries doesn’t taste good as Philippine bananas.” It’s a fact and you can compare it yourself. The genuine Class A Philippine Cavendish Bananas taste naturally sweet and delicious to the last bite. And it is a healthy food for your body. But yes, it should be genuine Class A because scammers and cheaters are everywhere so you should deal only with reputable exporters and traders.

My importers through he could earn more when he bought from other countries because they offer cheaper. He learned his lesson from actual experience as he end up in losses.

Cavendish Banana Plantation in Davao region Philippines alone is as far as the eye can see. One week is not enough to tour and inspect the plantation area as it is actually bigger than a small country like Singapore. It is so huge and you need a trustworthy contact to lead you where are the safe pest-free source and who are the unreliable. The plantation is farther than what your eye can see as it reaches to other region and provinces (e.g. Cotabato, General Santos, Bukidnon, other provinces of Mindanao). But the center of the center is Davao.
