Agriculture Ministry Denies Banana Weight Claims
The Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation confirmed that the claims claiming an increase in the weight of banana pseudostems and fingers by up to 80% after harvest are unscientific and lack factual basis. They are solely meant to stir confusion among citizens. The ministry clarified that the harvesting of pseudostems is done when they are green and firm, relying on clear indicators such as color change and diameter measurements. The ripening process occurs in special rooms using ethylene gas over a period of 3 to 7 days. It was emphasized that the variations in the weights of pseudostems and fingers are natural and depend on several factors, including the variety, maturity stage, and harvest timing. The weights typically range from 10 to 60 kilograms for the pseudostem and 1.5 to 5 kilograms for the bunch. The ministry urged the public to rely on official sources to avoid spreading incorrect information that could harm the market and consumers.
