This banana planting assistance project aims to help the poor aboriginal farmers in the remote mountainous areas of Davao City get out of poverty. In addition to providing banana seedlings, fertilizers and pesticides to the beneficiary farmers, it also organizes third-party companies to provide relevant training to farmers and to purchase bananas produced by farmers to ensure their income.

Agriculture is an important industry in the Philippine national economy. Agricultural technology cooperation has always been an important part of bilateral cooperation between China and the Philippines. China-Philippines agricultural cooperation has great potential in Mindanao. The Consulate General in Davao will continue to promote relevant Chinese provinces. The agricultural cooperation with the Mindanao region has continued to progress, benefiting more farmers in the Mindanao region.
