A fruit Filipino exporter has entered into a trade agreement with a Singaporean fruit wholesaler; the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said Avante Agri-Products will supply fresh and processed commodities to Bananah & Co. PTE. Ltd., a wholesale seller of fruits and vegetables.
Initial products that are involved are fresh pineapples and papaya, but the agreement indicated that shipping would later include other fruits such as fresh bananas, durian and banana chips.
A minimum of one 40-footer container per week for both banana and papaya would be arriving in Singapore within two weeks from the signing based on the agreement, said MinDA, which initiated and formed the investment and trade mission to this island state.
