Ang Pilipinas ay nangunguna sa buong mundo sa pagluluwas ng abaka at taunang kumikita ng 80 milyong dolyar. Walumpu’t limang porsyento ng kabuuang produksyon ng abaka sa buong mundo ay galing sa Pilipinas. Sa kabila ng mataas na produksyon, naapektuhan ang industriya ng mga bayrus at sakit katulad ng ‘Abaca Bunchy Top Virus’ o ABTV, ‘mosaic,’ at ‘bract mosaic.’ Sa katunayan, nasira ng ABTV ang 19,000 na ektarya ng abaka noong 2011.
Upang matugunan ang hamon na ito, isinusulong ng isang

Isang proyekto na gumagamit ng teknolohiya ng ‘genotyping’ ang inaasahang makatutulong sa industriya ng mangga ng bansa. Kinakalap ng teknolohiya ang mga datos ng ‘molecular markers’ na nauugnay sa magagandang katangian ng mangga katulad ng mamula-mulang kulay at makapal na balat at resistensya laban sa sakit na ‘anthracnose’ at ‘fruit fly.’ Ang mga datos ay makatutulong sa paglinang ng haybrid na barayti ng mangga na may mga nabanggit na katangian.
