Abstract
香蕉為我國最大宗之外銷新鮮農產品。在亞熱帶氣候條件孕育之下，台蕉香甜可口，風味為其他熱帶產蕉國家所生產者望塵莫及，廣被國內外消費者喜愛，數十年來外銷日本一直持續不斷，於民國五十六年曾有外銷量達二千六百萬箱之最高紀錄。惟自六○年以來，外因菲律賓蕉的帽起，內有若干栽培問題發生，導致台蕉外銷一蹶不振，至七十九年外銷量降至三百萬箱。基於往昔台蕉在日本市場建立良好信譽，近年又打開韓國市場，未來台蕉產業尤其在外銷方面仍具發展潛力。青果社己研擬發展方案，期能於三年內達到年外銷八百萬箱之目標。重振台蕉產業之關鍵，則有賴研究解決下列重要產銷問題：黃葉病、兩段著色、產銷失調、生產成本太高、及因集運不當引起的標壓傷問題等。本文探討上述問題的解決對策，並提出未來台蕉的研究發展方針，俾提昇栽培技術，使台蕉外銷業務在激烈的國際香蕉市場競爭下長久立於不敗之地。
Banana is the most important fresh commodity for export in Taiwan. Grown under the subtropical climatic conditions, Taiwanese banana has a flavor superior to those produced in tropical countries. A large amount of Taiwanese bananas has been exported to Japan continuously in the past three decades, peaked in 1967 with an amount of 26 millions boxes per annum. However the banana industry in Taiwan has shrunken dramatically since 1970 due to competition of the Philippine banana and the occurrence of cultivation problems that are seriously affecting banana production currently. The amount of banana entering into the export trade was reduced to 3 millions in 1990. Due to its wide popularity in the Japanese market and an additional Korean market open recently, there is a great potential of increasing export trade of Taiwanese banana in the future. The Taiwan Provincial Fruit and Marketing Cooperative has made a production plan to boost export of banana up to 8 millions boxes per annum within three years. To accomplish this goal, researches are needed to solve the following major production problems : the Panama disease, ripening disorder, imbalance in production and market demand, high cost of production, and mechanical damage to the skin of fruit as a result of inadequate postharvest handling. This paper discusses the ways for the solution of these problems, and underlines the research priorities in the future. Advancement of technology in banana cultivation is essential to maintain a prosperous banana business under increasingly competitive conditions of international banana export trade.
