Varieties Cavendish Load ports Davao, General Santos, and Manila
Every week of the year, out of Mindanao and shipping through Davao and General Santos. This is the largest banana programme in Asia and it is a different trade from the Latin American one on the rest of this page: the buyers are in Japan, Korea, China and Hong Kong, and the voyage is days rather than a fortnight.
Because the lane is short, almost nothing that decides the outcome happens at sea. Japanese volume in particular is committed on annual agreements, so the price was set long before the box was loaded and what an importer is actually managing is delivery against a schedule. The two things that break that schedule are a typhoon crossing Mindanao and a terminal, in that order.
Last reviewed August 2026. Editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule. Weather moves them, sometimes by weeks.
