Banana production in Ecuador is an important component to the national economy. This country has been a lead banana producer since 1953. The country approximately exports more than 4 million tons of bananas annually. In 2016-2018 Ecuador contributed 36% of the worlds exported bananas. Ecuador is a good place to cultivate bananas due to its warm and wet climate, and abundance of rivers. The country is inexperience at hurricanes or high wind storms which reduces the likelihood of banana crops being destroyed. The provinces of Los Rios and Guayas produce the most bananas out of the country, accounting for 70% of the countries total banana production in 2022. The main commercial banana variety…

Agrobacterium-mediated In planta Transformation of Hill Banana for Developing Resistance against Banana Bunchy Top Virus. Banana viruses have had a major negative impact on the production of bananas worldwide. Among banana viruses, Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) is one of the most destructive viral diseases affecting Hill banana (AAB) which is known for its special flavor and long shelf life and are unique to the lower Pulney hills of Tamil Nadu, India. In transgenics, Pathogen Derived Resistance (PDR) approach is one of the potential strategies for developing virus resistance in crops which has been proven to be difficult to obtain by conventional breeding. Here we have reported a reproduc…

A review of fast fashion and environmental research gaps in the top garment-producing countries: a case study of China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Turkey, and Indonesia. The growth of the fast fashion industry has accelerated over the last 5 decades, leading to serious environmental repercussions, including immense production of wastewater and greenhouse gases, in addition to landfill contributions. The fashion industry has been credited with generating 20% of global wastewater and 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In this systematic review, we explore the research gaps in the top garment-producing countries, specifically China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Turkey, India, and Indonesia. We ai…

Production and consumption of agricultural plant commodities has a diverse geographical distribution. Along with climate and corresponding types of vegetation, the economy of a nation also influences the level of agricultural production. Production of some products is highly concentrated in a few countries, China, the leading producer of wheat and ramie in 2013, produces 95% of the world's ramie fiber but only 17% of the world's wheat. Products with more evenly distributed production see more frequent changes in the ranking of top producers. The major agricultural products can be broadly categorised into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials.

Agriculture in Indonesia is one of the key sectors within the Indonesian economy. In the last 50 years, the sector's share in national gross domestic product has decreased considerably, due to the rise of industrialisation and service sector.

In 2013, the agricultural sector contributed 14.43% to national GDP, a slight decline from 2003's contribution which was 15.19%. In 2012, the agricultural sector provides jobs to approximately 49 million Indonesians, representing 41% of the country's total labor force. Currently, approximately 30% of Indonesia's land area is used for agr…
