    Introduction
    Bananas are vigorously growing, herbaceous plants growing in every humid tropical
    region. Edible bananas are believed to have originated in the Indo-Malaysian region
    reaching to northern Australia. They constitute the fourth largest fruit crop of the world,
    following the grape, citrus fruits and the apple. World production is estimated to be
    twenty-eight million tons—sixty-five percent from Latin America, twenty-seven percent
    from Southeast Asia, and seven percent from Africa. One-fifth of the crop is exported to
    Europe, Canada, the United States and Japan as fresh fruit. India is the leading banana
    producer in Asia, followed by Indonesia and then by Philippines. The Philippines
    produces about one-half million tons, exporting mostly to Japan.
    The Philippines, being one of the contenders for the title, “Banana Capital of the
    World,” has innumerable banana plantations scattered across Mindanao. Biggest
    producing region is Southern Mindanao capturing almost half of the country's total
    production. Production of banana is mainly concentrated in Mindanao where the biggest
    banana producing provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur and Davao City of
    Southern Mindanao region. Outside Mindanao, the biggest producing provinces are
    Iloilo in Western Visayas and Isabela of Cagayan Valley. Most of the 337,082 hectares of
    banana are mostly backyard or smallholder operations. According to a study conducted
    by World Bank, the few commercial plantings are located in Mindanao where there are
    about 28,000 hectares of Cavendish bananas being produced for export.
    Banana has many uses especially in the human diet. Utilization of banana as food
    can be in many ways -- from simply being peeled and eaten out of-hand to being sliced
    and served in fruit cups and salads, sandwiches, custards and gelatins; being mashed
    and incorporated into ice cream, bread, muffins, and cream pies. Ripe bananas are often
    sliced lengthwise, fried in cooking oil, and re-cooked in sugar caramel. Banana puree is
    important as infant food and can be successfully canned by the addition of ascorbic acid
    to prevent discoloration. Because of seasonal gluts and perishability and the tonnages of
    bananas and plantains that are not suitable for marketing or export because of
    overripeness or stained peel or other defects, there has been tremendous interest in the
    development of modes of processing and preserving these fruits.
    Unripe banana has many food uses as well. In Zamboanga City, green unripe
    bananas, boiled in skin and served with “haleia” or coconut milk caramel, are popular.
    Sun-drying slices of unripe fruits and pulverizing make banana or plantain flour or
    powder. One of the most popular unripe banana products is banana chips.
    Commercial production and marketing of banana chips has been increasing in various
    parts of the world over the past 25 years and these products are commonly found in
    retail groceries alongside potato chips and other snack foods. 'Carinosa' and 'Bungulan'
    bananas are favored for chip-making in Latin Amerca. In the Philippines, the ‘Saba’ and
    ‘Cardava’ varieties are chosen for this purpose.
    This paper proposes a banana chips production business in Zamboanga City. The
    idea stemmed from the proponent’s fondness for the product and the prodigious source
    of banana in the area. The business and its initial product shall be named MILES
    COMPANY and MR. YUMMY BANANA CHIPS, respectively. The banana chips shall be
    distributed mainly to the canteens of the different primary, secondary, and tertiary
    schools in Zamboanga City. Miles Company will also deliver to the grocery stores as well
    as the canteens of the different companies or offices in the city.
