R&D Gaps ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ To be globally competitive, the fruit industry has to be transformed into a dynamic sector. The desirable industry situation can be achieved by addressing gaps in R&D. The R&D gaps on fruits cover specific concerns on preproduction, production, postharvest system, processing and utilization, socioeconomics, and marketing. Banana It is the goal of the industry to produce bananas with high level of acceptable quality necessary for strategic global competitiveness. In doing so, it is imperative to address common problems besetting the industry. The gaps identified for R&D include germplasm resources, micropropagation technique, crop protection, other aspects of cultural management, postharvest handling, quality standard of processed products, and marketing strategies (Table 12). Mango For mango, R&D gaps are on cultivars, varietal identification, quality planting materials, technology on high-density planting, other aspects of cultural management, indices for readiness to flower, crop protection, postharvest handling, processing, and marketing (Table 13). Table 12. Major R&D problems on banana. Area Technology Status R&D Gaps Preproduction Variety Current varieties are susceptible Germplasm resources in field genebanks to pests and diseases. are constantly threatened by pests and diseases. Propagation Micropropagation/tissue culture Further improvement of rapid mass technology is available. propagation technologies is needed. Institutionalization of tissue culture technology (D) is needed. Production Planting density There is technology available for Planting density for major cultivars is Cavendish. not yet established. Nutrition Recommendation is not fully Critical nutrient concentrations and established. nutrient requirements of major cultivars are not yet established. Water relations Recommendation is not fully Optimum water requirement based on established. crop phenology is not yet established. 22 .............................................................................................................
