| description |
The World Bank has carried out a study
on agribusiness, logistics, and infrastructure for growth in
Mindanao. Funded by the Australian Agency for International
Development, the study aimed to understand better why the
Philippines, with its well-educated human capital and
diverse natural resource base, significantly lags behind the
rest of East Asia in per capita growth. Some rural areas
with high agricultural potential, such as Mindanao and, to
some extent, the Visayas, also lag behind the rest of the
Philippine economy. The study sought to understand how the
Philippines could improve its competitiveness in
agribusiness and agriculture commodity markets, areas where
Mindanao enjoys strong comparative advantages. The study
analyzed the constraints affecting the performance of
agricultural value chains in Mindanao, particularly in terms
of infrastructure and logistics. The agricultural
commodities selected were corn and bananas because of their
economic weight at regional and national levels. Mindanao,
especially the Bukidnon plateau, is a major producer of
white and yellow corn. The study focused on yellow corn,
which is grown mainly for animal feed and used in milled and
non-milled varieties. Mindanao is also the country's
main banana producing region, both for export and for the
domestic market. Region eleventh (the Davao region) is the
leading banana producer and supplier of export-quality
bananas in the country. In recent years, the Philippines
have become the world's second top exporter of
Cavendish bananas. |
