The Changing Structure of the Banana Industry in the Philippines and Its Implication on Local Workers
CARANDANG, Ninebeth S.
open access
The impact of the recent changes in the agri-food trade and production system on labor is rather complex and mixed. Multinational companies in the Philippine banana industry have divested from their direct involvement in production through managing or owing plantations and shifted to more value-adding activities in the supply chain. This provides opportunities for the local growers to be entrepreneurs and creates a new type of employment pattern based on kinship or relational factor. Empirical data from this study show that there is a significant increase in the number of new workers hired as help-outs by the small landowner growers. At the same time, however, the transformation of employment arrangements challenges the labor conditions of the work force, especially from the points of view of labor standards in the Philippines. Multiple specifications and pack-type demands of global markets put further pressure on the workers’ efficiency and productivity.
