Banana farmers in Sanya are suffering from sharp decline in demand since the arrival of April, hurt by the rumors about the use of the plant hormone ethephon. The price of bananas in some areas of Sanya has dropped to a record low of 6 cents per kilo.

After the media exposure and government proposal, Sanya army authorities took immediate action to purchase 5000 kilos to help farmers to get through bankruptcy.

As of June 28, a total of 27.5 tons of bananas have been sold out and 104 tons are ordered.

In addition, people are motivated to help farmers to buy the bananas and citizens also organized group purchases.

With the launch of government encouraging measures, the city’s 30 tons of bananas were delivered to enterprises, institutions, hotels, local residents by June 30.
