The Marang (Artocarpus odorratissumus Blanco) is a fruit tree native to Mindanao. Marang, as it is known in Mindanao, is comparable to breadfruit (Kamansi), jackfruit (langka), and durian, except for its sweet scent. It is widely grown especially in Davao, North Cotabato, and Agusan. Marang has a round to oblong shape and is slightly smaller and lighter than jackfruit. Inside its thick rind is a mass of white, juicy, and edible seeds embedded in pulp. Other regional names of marang are tarap, madang, johey oak, and terap. Raw and freshly opened marang should be eaten immediately as it quickly oxidizes and loses its flavour. Aside from its delightful taste, marang is also good for one’s body. Studies show that it is loaded with nutritional value, containing calcium, vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, crude fiber, retinol and iron, among others. Marang are seasonal with two main seasons – September to October and occasionally December. It grows as a volunteer crop in the marginal and hilly areas of Mindanao and seldom found in Luzon and the Visayas. Hence, there is currently no identified marang plantation. Currently, this fruit is undervalued and under utilized (Sales and Turnos, 2011). However, Sales et al (2013) pointed out in their studies that Marang fruits hold promising marketing prospects for the Visayan and Luzon consumers. Aside from Marang, the island of Mindanao has long been home to different varieties of fruits, to name a few, these are rambutan, lanzones, mangosteen, durian, banana, citrus and many others. The abundance of fruits is an added perk of visiting the island, apart from the tuna, weather, and the beaches. Although very few studies had already been done on Marang but its scope is not Mindanao wide. Hence the importance of conducting a research on Marang which covers a bigger portion of Mindanao will greatly helped in coming up with information and data on the whole Marang industry. Likewise, an assessment of fruit production of major fruits of economic and marketing importance in Mindanao is seemed necessary and important for this will be used by policymakers for the holistic development of the fruit industry in the island of Mindanao.
