Banana is one of the most common and widely grown fruit crops in the Philippines. It is also one of the country’s major dollar earners, and has consistently ranked next to coconut oil and prawns in terms of value earnings during the last five years.
In 1991, banana topped local production among the other major fruits such as pineapple and mango, thus eating up more than one-third of the production pie.
Banana has various uses. The ripe fruit is pureed, candied, and preserved in various forms when not eaten fresh. Its extract is used in the manufacture of catsup, vinegar,and wine. The unripe fruit is powdered and chipped.

I have a priest-friend who related to me that a 1 hectare babana plantation coupled with a piggery will reap you lots. You can feed the hogs with banana leaves (or stalks, I forget), and market them as organic, di ba. You can have your banana and hog, and sell them too.
