Balangon, a native variety of green banana, is Alter Trade's most widely produced and widest selling product. Alter Trade's Balangon are naturally grown. They approximate the health value and taste of original Balangon that grow wild and unattended in the mountainous, forested regions of the Philippines.Balangon's aromatic, sweet-sour taste has been preferred internationally. Japan has been Alter Trade's largest Balangon market, with the Middle East and other Asian countries contributing a significant share.Being produced by land reform beneficiaries from Negros and farmers from Northern Luzon, Panay, Bohol and Cavite, Alter Trade's bananas symbolize the self-help, and self-determination of the Filipino poor.
