Likert Scale
Positive 1 2 3 4
1. Socioeconomic status positively influences banana
farming.
2. Observing agricultural training programs has a
favorable impact on banana cultivation.
3. Banana plantations, being labour intensive, are an
essential economic booster as they help in
generating employment to local community.
4. Does training through extension courses have a
positive impact on banana cultivation?
5. Sustainable agriculture planning create an impact to
banana cultivation.
6. Many communities benefit from having Famers
Markets where smaller farmers can interact directly
with consumers.
7. Farmers point of view should be taken for better
understanding to the current situation of both land
and banana growth.
Negative 1 2 3 4
1. Continuous cropping of bananas affects the number
of crops that will not be sold in the market.
2. Farmers are reluctant to invest time and money in
crops that have no guaranteed market.
3. The environmental impact of agriculture involves
impacts on a variety of different factors: the soil,
water, air, animal and soil variety, people, plants,
and the food itself.
4. Agriculture contributes to a larger number of
environmental issues that cause environmental
degradation, including climate change,
deforestation, biodiversity loss, dead zones,
irrigation problems, pollutants, soil degradation,
and waste.
5. For smallholder farmers dependent on growing
bananas for a living, challenges abound too, with
rising costs of production but stagnation in prices
and the severe impacts of changing climate and
weather patterns making production unpredictable
and unsustainable.
6. Rural poverty is often a product of poor
infrastructure that hinders development and
mobility. Rural areas tend to lack sufficient roads
that would increase access to agricultural inputs and
markets.
7. Supermarkets are able to make major profits by
paying unsustainably low prices to the fruit
companies that market bananas and/or own
plantations.
Political 1 2 3 4
Economic 1 2 3 4
1. Banana farms make a huge contribution to the
economy.
Social 1 2 3 4
1. The mass use of harmful pesticides impacts the
health of workers and villagers surrounding
growing areas.
2. I choose to support local Farmer’s Market, head on
down there with some friends and family members;
meet the growers, and support them by buying their
goods.
3. Tell people about the impact bananas are having on
the planet, and encourage them to buy local fruits
instead.
4. I will continue to consume bananas, always buy
organic and fair trade bananas wherever possible
5. As part of local community and has been
experiencing the impacts of banana farming , I can
help collaborate with other farmers to address
issues in farming (production and marketing
problems)
6. Banana growing fosters positive relationships
between locals and farmers.
7. I believe that banana farming has a positive effect
on the local community as it provides a livelihood
and is one of the main sources of income for the
people.
Technological 1 2 3 4
1. I am in favor of replacing methods in banana
harvesting if there was a mechanical technology that
could aid in banana picking.
2. Banana farmers should invest in new technological
method of farming such as buying highly innovative
equipment.
3. Does type of mobility a hindrance to deliver banana in
the market?
4. On the scale 1 to 4 with 4 as strongly agree, 3 agree, 2
disagree and 1 strongly disagree. Do you rely on
banana picking machines rather than sticking to manual
labor in banana harvesting?
5. Is there a method of studying banana cultivation?
6. At present, the most common semi mechanized banana
transportation methods in the world are car
transportation and ropeway transportation. On the scale
1 to 4 with 4 as strongly agree, 3 agree, 2 disagree and
1 strongly disagree. Do you agree of using these
methods?
7. Given the advance technology, do you think minimum
wage can sustain and help the expenses towards the
compensation and welfare of the farmers?
Environmental 1 2 3 4
1. The banana farmers consume Agrochemicals which
classified as hazardous by world health organization.
2. Agrochemical use pollutes water supplies,
contaminates soils, and can have devastating impacts
on worker health.
3. Because of monoculture and high input production of
banana farming, this makes plants highly susceptible to
pests, fungi and diseases, and therefore large quantities
of insecticides and other pesticides are applied to the
crops.
4. The use of Fertilizers and pesticides in banana farming
can have a devastating impact on the environment, such
as polluting water channels and leading to
eutrophication, resulting in the destruction of aquatic
life.
5. I am in favor of Organic banana farming and
cultivation.
6. I know that by organically growing bananas, it uses
natural materials to feed the plant and produce edible
bananas without chemicals and pesticides.
7. I choose organic banana farming than conventional
farming, because conventional banana farms might be
more detrimental to surrounding air, soil, and water
quality compared with organic farms
