                    [Summary] => The Philippines turned down Japan’s request for samples of genetic materials of small banana varieties intended for the Japanese market.


"Japan has asked for genetic materials of the crop but it is a demand that is beyond the bounds of customary trade transactions. It is not possible to give out DNA samples of our bananas. It is the right of every trading country to protect and preserve their endemic crops. We hope the Japanese government agrees with us on this," said Lealyn Ramos, director of the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI).
