CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
• High value crops of agricultural and food products now
increased in developing countries that accounts more than
50 percent. (Spencer Henson, Steven Jaffee, 2006. Food
Safety Standards and Trade: Enhancing Competitiveness and
Avoiding Exclusion of Developing Countries. European Journal
of Development Research. December 2006)
• The Philippines is the second largest banana exporter in the
world. Banana is one of the Philippine’s best agricultural
products. It remained the 2nd most important export
commodity having shred 15-18 percent of the total top 10
agricultural exports revenue. (2015, The Manila Times)
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
• Philippine Statistics Authority reports that export of
Cavendish bananas has breached the $1-billion mark as it
grew 18.06 percent from $962.58 million in 2013 to $1.136
million in 2014 in 2015.
• According to the data from the Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA), as of 2016, Davao Region remains to be the top
banana producer of the country contributing 38.4 percent of
total production for 4th quarter 2016, or 897.72 MT. It was
followed by Soccsksargen at 13.2 percent.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
• The top major export destinations for fresh Cavendish
bananas are China, Japan, Korea, Middle East and New
Zealand.
• Banana exporters are encouraged to have better and higher
quality products to expand market especially Russia. To keep
the market, quality, food safety and supply are factors that
should remain stable at all times.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
• The food industry is undergoing important changes driven by
new technologies, institutional relationships, demand
conditions, private supply chain standards, and public
regulatory requirements. There is a rapidly increasing interest
in quality assurance for such attributes as food safety, taste,
appearance, and production practices (e.g., organic). Quality
management systems (QMS) are the major vehicles used by
companies to respond to this interest (Caswell, Bredahl, and
Hooker).
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
• QMS encompasses a broad range of efforts. A leading
developer of certification standards for such systems, the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), defines a
quality management system as “the organization’s structure
for managing its processes—or activities—that transform
inputs of resources into a product or service which meet the
organization’s objectives ... this means what the organization
does to fulfill: the customer’s quality requirements, and
applicable regulatory requirements, while aiming to enhance
customer satisfaction, and achieve continual improvement of
its performance in pursuit of these objectives” (International
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
• Examples of QMS includes Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points
(HACCP), ISO 9000 certification and ISO 22000 a standard containing
requirements for the food safety management systems relating to the
entire food supply chain (ISO, 2005) and GlobalGAP introduced by
FoodPLUS GmbH, a derivative of GLOBALGAP, to raise standards in the
production of fresh fruit and vegetables. Certification to the Standard
ensures a level playing field in terms of food safety and quality, and
proves that growers are prepared to constantly improve systems to
raise standards (GlobalGAP, 2013).
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
Significant variation in food safety standards across countries
and products, and between supply chains remains a challenge
for food producers to consistently meet the market requirement.
A greatest concern to developing countries.

Exporters often face distinct standards in each of the markets

they supply that require particular skills and competences in the
development and management of agri-business in developing
countries.

Banana being grown in different topographical area, different

cultural and political makes it even more challenging to
manage.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

There is a need to research the constraints encountered in the

banana packing plant operation to meet the market demand in
terms of food safety, quality and supply of banana operation in
Region 11 particularly Davao region being the top exporter of
banana in the Philippines.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The study will provide understanding of the value chain
structure and operation and identify appropriate strategies for
effective management of food safety standard and efficient
production.
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW

• In his article, under constraints to compliance, U. Laurian,

2003 states that while basic scientific and technical
infrastructure is clearly vital, management is also considered
as one important element. Indeed, the experiences of many
countries suggest that the lack of efficient management or
sustainable levels of resources can seriously compromise the
effectiveness of quality management and food safety
controls.
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
G. Gereffi in his study on Global Value Chain Approach to Food
Safety and Quality standards suggests that further research will
benefit from more in-depth case study. Examining what standards
are put in place in a particular value chain requires survey and field
interviews with value chain actors as much as analysis of value
chain structures in operation. More research on the strategies and
actions of buyers will help us construct a more complete view of
global value chains and the dynamics of food standards system
therein. Finally, a systemic attention to the multiplicity of global
value chains – by market orientation and by different types of
buyers and suppliers – will provide a more dynamic view of how
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW
• With the use of more complex system-based controls, such as
HACCP, rather than specific product or process requirements
that stipulate precise actions to be taken, there may be
considerable scope for flexibility in the specific forms of
control that are implemented. In turn, it is necessary for
developing country governments and exporters to recognise
effective food safety management as a core competence in
competitiveness and to consider the costs and benefits of
standards compliance in their decisions over what to produce
and export, and which markets to target, in the context of
evolving standards and prevailing competencies and

A. Profiling of the Organization
Background of the banana packing plant operating in Davao
region will identified (basically a profile on location, outsourced
products and outsourced service)
CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY
B. Identification of Managerial Elements
A diagnostic tool will be adapted from the study of P.G.
Tzamalis, et.al with identified risk factors under Quality and
Safety Management using the following indicators to
determine the impact of managerial elements that has an
effect to food safety, quality and supply.
1. Leadership and top management commitment 2. Training
personnel 3. Quality information and performance
measurement, SPC tools 4. Business assurance and business
continuity 5. Continuous improvement 6. Customer focus and
satisfaction 7. Supply control 8. Production control

CONTROL CONTROLS

• A quantitative method will be used to identify constraints in

the management system.
