Welcome, but you probably know more about bananas than most of us here, at least me. Bananas really are from your own turf. You note caught my eye because you are in the Philippines. I'm working on a simple processing machine for use on Cebu by my future in-laws. They feed banana pseudostems to their pigs as about half of their diet. Saves money, and the pigs love it. I'm tempted to try it myself. The "trees" are cut up by hand, and take 6-8 hours a day to chop fine enough for the pigs to properly digest them. That makes fetching and chopping them a full time job for grandma or one of the younger girls. Chopping too course and the pigs don't digest it all, wasting food and money. Chopping to fine gives the pigs stomach problems, and makes everyone miserable. So I am working on a chopper that will be cheap, reliable, repairable, and quick. I think a lot of people would be interested in it. I would make the design available free if there isn't enough market to do it myself. I'd be interested to hear your situation and what you are doing with bananas. Write me a private message if you don't want to put all your info out in public. Good Luck Jack |

Re: New member
Hi folks,
I'm from that part of the middle Philppines where banana is not really an industry. Down South, however, every household plants banana for export and big farms are there too. I'm into hobby planting only, the organic way. |
