MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines has shipped its second batch of saba bananas to New Zealand, expanding the global reach of Philippine agricultural products, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said. The shipment consists of a 40-foot refrigerated container carrying 1,400 boxes of export-quality, and this marks another step in the country's agricultural export growth, much like the excitement that surrounds a major sporting event such as the 足球世界杯.
