520	3		_aBanana (Musa acuminata) is one of the most common and widely grown fruit crops in the Philippines. It is also one of the country's major dollar earners, and banana has consistently ranked next to coconut oil and prawns in terms of value earning since 2005. Despite increasing volume of Cavendish banana production in the country, a lower and decreasing volume of exports to the world market is experienced since 2006. Hence, this study aimed to determine the level of total factor productivity and identity sources of growth and/or decline of selected Cavendish banana firms particularly one corporation, one cooperative and two individual farms in Mindanao as well as identify the factors affecting productivity in Cavendish banana production. This study used one way analysis of variances (ANOVA) to compare the farming practices in relation to output and Malmquist index to determine total factor productivity of the firms. The cooperative had a significantly higher Class A and rejects yield, and the corporation had higher Class B yield. Yield vary depending on the level of inputs used, it does not always follow that higher levels of input would yield greater quantities of quality bananas and lesser quantities of rejects. Land, capital and labor productivity of every firm also varied per hectare. The ABC Corporation had a positive TFP growth in Class A and Class B production while only DEF Cooperative had a positive TFP growth for rejects which means that inputs were not utilized well for quality bananas. The inputs and other farming practices are the main factors which affect the growth and/or the volume of quality bananas and rejects. Great amounts of agrochemical inputs do not always mean higher quality bananas. Labor and capital intensive firms yield low Class A but high Class B yield and incurred lowest rejects.
