Nahaharap ang industriya ng abaka sa bansa sa ilang mga suliranin gaya ng: mababang pagtanggap ng mga magsasaka sa makabagong teknolohiya sa pagtatanim at pangangalaga ng abaka; kakulangan ng mga kalidad na pananim na nakapagbibigay ng mataas na ani at may taglay na resistensya laban sa bayrus. Lumalaganap din ang mga sakit at peste tulad ng ‘abaca bunchy top virus’ (ABTV) na itinuturing na pinakamapinsala.
