Philippines seeks WTO help over banana ban
19 Jun 2006
The Philippines government will ask the World Trade Organisation to help its fruit growers gain access to Australia. Australia has never imported fresh bananas from the Philippines, saying they carry diseases that could hurt its farming industry. Banana growers in Australia were selling the fruit at up to $25 a 13 kilogram carton before Larry hit northern-eastern Australia on March 20. They are now selling bananas for $100 a box because of the shortage.
