Measuring and Adjusting the Stiffness and Tilt Sensitivity of a Novel 2D Monolithic High Precision Electromagnetic Force Compensated Weighing Cell
Authors:   Technical University Ilmenau Institute for Process Measurement and Sensor Technology, Pabst Markus
Published: March 2022

Further improvements in high precision mass comparison are a recent issue in the dissemination chain of the mass standard. One of the most precise methods of mass comparison is achieved by the use of high precision electromagnetic force compensated (EMFC) weighing cells as part of mass comparators. The mechanics of EMFC weighing cells are based on compliant mechanisms with concentrated compliances in form of flexure hinges. Total mechanical stiffness and tilt sensitivity are limiting factors with regard to the resolution of EMFC weighing cells. In order to optimize their performance, the stiffness and the tilt sensitivity of the systems need to be minimized. Due to manufacturing restrictions and robustness requirements, a further reduction of the thickness of the pivots is not desirable. In this paper, an alternative to reduce stiffness and tilt sensitivity by adding trim weights in combination with an astasizing adjustment is presented. Based on the results of the investigations, a new planar monolithic mechanism for an EMFC weighing cell is designed, providing the possibility to adjust trim masses. The new mechanism is set up and adjusted according to the developed mechanical model. A parameter combination for a total stiffness slightly above zero and a tilt sensitivity close to zero is found. For the evaluation of the adjustment success and the vacuum compatibility, the system is tested under high vacuum conditions.

Abstract. Site-level observations have shown pervasive cold season CO2 release across Arctic and boreal ecosystems, impacting annual carbon budgets. Still, the seasonality of CO2 emissions are poorly quantified across much of the high latitudes due to the sparse coverage of site-level observations. Space-based observations provide the opportunity to fill some observational gaps for studying these high latitude ecosystems, particularly across poorly sampled regions of Eurasia. Here, we show that data-driven net ecosystem exchange (NEE) from atmospheric CO2 observations implies strong summer uptake followed by strong autumn release of CO2 over the entire cold northeastern region of Eurasia during the 2015–2019 study period. Combining data-driven NEE with satellite-based estimates of gross primary production (GPP), we show that this seasonality implies less summer heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and greater autumn Rh than would be expected given an exponential relationship between respiration and surface temperature. Furthermore, we show that this seasonality of NEE and Rh over northeastern Eurasia is not captured by the TRENDY v8 ensemble of dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), which estimate that only 52 % of annual Rh occurs during Aug–Apr, while the data-driven estimate suggests 64–70 % of annual Rh occurs over this period. We explain this seasonal shift in Rh by respiration from soils at depth during the zero curtain period, when sub-surface soils remain unfrozen up to several months after the surface has frozen. Additional impacts of physical processes related to freeze-thaw dynamics may contribute to the seasonality of Rh. This study confirms a significant and spatially extensive early cold season CO2 efflux in the permafrost rich region of northeast Eurasia, and suggests that autumn Rh from subsurface soils in the northern high latitudes is not well captured by current DGVMs.

Abstract. We present 20-year flask sample records of atmospheric CO2,
δ(O2/N2), and atmospheric potential oxygen (APO) from the
stations Lutjewad (the Netherlands) and Mace Head (Ireland), and a 3-year
record from Halley station (Antarctica). We include details of our
calibration procedures and the stability of our calibration scale over time,
which we estimate to be 3 per meg over the 11 years of calibration, and our
compatibility with the international Scripps O2 scale. The measurement
records from Lutjewad and Mace Head show similar long-term trends during the
period 2002–2018 of 2.31 ± 0.07 ppm yr−1 for CO2 and −21.2 ± 0.8 per meg yr−1 for δ(O2/N2) at Lutjewad,
and 2.22 ± 0.04 ppm yr−1 for CO2 and −21.3 ± 0.9 per meg yr−1 for δ(O2/N2) at Mace Head. They also show a
similar δ(O2/N2) seasonal cycle with an amplitude of 54 ± 4 per meg at Lutjewad and 61 ± 5 per meg at Mace Head, while
the CO2 seasonal amplitude at Lutjewad (16.8 ± 0.5 ppm) is
slightly higher than that at Mace Head (14.8 ± 0.3 ppm). We show that
the observed long-term trends and seasonal cycles are in good agreement with
the measurements from various other stations, especially the measurements
from the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory (United Kingdom). However, there are
remarkable differences in the progression of annual trends between the Mace
Head and Lutjewad records for δ(O2/N2) and APO, which
might in part be caused by sampling differences, but also by environmental
effects, such as North Atlantic Ocean oxygen ventilation changes to which
Mace Head is more sensitive. The Halley record shows clear trends and
seasonality in δ(O2/N2) and APO, the latter agreeing especially well with continuous measurements at the same location made by the
University of East Anglia (UEA), while CO2 and δ(O2/N2)
present slight disagreements, most likely caused by small leakages during
sampling. From our 2002–2018 records, we find a good agreement with
Global Carbon Budget 2021 (Friedlingstein et al. (2021) for the global ocean carbon sink: 2.1 ± 0.8 PgC yr−1, based on the Lutjewad record. The data presented in this work are

Authors: Demir Ibrahim , Xiang Zhongrun , Demiray Bekir , Sit Muhammed
Published: March 2022

Abstract. This study proposes a comprehensive benchmark dataset for streamflow forecasting, WaterBench, that follows FAIR data principles that is prepared with a focus on convenience for utilizing in data-driven and machine learning studies, and provides benchmark performance for state-of-art deep learning architectures on the dataset for comparative analysis. By aggregating the datasets of streamflow, precipitation, watershed area, slope, soil types, and evapotranspiration from federal agencies and state organizations (i.e., NASA, NOAA, USGS, and Iowa Flood Center), we provided the WaterBench for hourly streamflow forecast studies. This dataset has a high temporal and spatial resolution with rich metadata and relational information, which can be used for varieties of deep learning and machine learning research. We defined a sample streamflow forecasting task for the next 120 hours and provided performance benchmarks on this task with sample linear regression and deep learning models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), and S2S (Sequence-to-sequence). To some extent, WaterBench makes up for the lack of unified benchmarks in earth science research. We highly encourage researchers to use the WaterBench for deep learning research in hydrology.
Implementation of aerosol data assimilation in WRFDA (v4.0.3) for WRF-Chem (v3.9.1) using the RACM/MADE-VBS scheme
Authors: Ha Soyoung
Published: March 2022

Abstract. The Weather Research and Forecasting model data assimilation (WRFDA) system, initially designed for meteorological data assimilation, is extended
for aerosol data assimilation for the WRF model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem). An interface between WRF-Chem and WRFDA is built for the Regional
Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism (RACM) chemistry and the Modal Aerosol Dynamics Model for Europe (MADE) coupled with the Volatility Basis Set (VBS)
aerosol schemes. This article describes the implementation of the new interface for assimilating PM2.5 and PM10 as well as four
gas species (SO2, NO2, O3, and CO) on the ground. The effects of aerosol data assimilation are briefly examined through a
month-long case study during the Korea–United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) period. It is demonstrated that the improved chemical initial
conditions through the 3D-Var analysis can lead to consistent forecast improvements up to 26 %, reducing systematic bias errors in surface
PM2.5 (PM10) concentrations to 0.0 (−1.9) µg m−3 over South Korea for 24 h.

Published: March 2022

Abstract. The current large-scale parallel barrier of ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) makes it difficult to meet the computing demand of high resolution. Fully considering both the computational characteristics of OGCMs and the heterogeneous many-core architecture of the new Sunway supercomputer, swNEMO_v4.0, with ultrahigh scalability is developed. Three innovations and breakthroughs are shown in our work: (1) A highly adaptive, efficient four-level parallelization framework for OGCMs is proposed to release a new level of parallelism along the compute-dependency column dimension. (2) A many-core optimization method using blocking by remote memory access (RMA) and a dynamic cache scheduling strategy, effectively utilizing the temporal and spatial locality of data. The test shows that the actual DMA bandwidth is greater than 90 % of the ideal bandwidth after optimization, and the maximum is up to 95 %. (3) A mixed-precision optimization method with half-, single-, and double-precision is explored, which can effectively improve the computation performance, while maintaining the simulated accuracy of OGCMs. The results demonstrate that swNEMO_v4.0 has ultrahigh scalability, achieving up to 99.29 % parallel efficiency with a resolution of 500 m using 27,988,480 cores, reaching the peak performance with 1.97 PFlops.
Network complexity of rubber plantations is lower than tropical forests for soil bacteria but not for fungi
Authors: Lan Guoyu , Yang Chuan , Wu Zhixiang , Sun Rui , Chen Bangqian , Zhang Xicai
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning.
Past research has examined the effects of forest conversion on soil
microbial composition and diversity, but it remains unknown how networks
within these communities respond to forest conversion, including when
tropical rainforests are replaced with rubber plantations. Microbial
networks are viewed as critical indicators of soil health and quality. They
consist of two parts: nodes and edges. In this study, we used data from
Illumina sequencing and shotgun metagenome sequencing to analyze bacterial
and fungal community network structure in a large number of soil samples
from tropical rainforests and rubber plantation sites on Hainan Island,
China. Our results showed that only 5 %–10 % of shared network edges (i.e., links
between species A and B existing in both rubber plantations and rainforests)
were observed in both bacterial and fungal communities, which indicates that
forest conversion altered the soil microbial network structure. The identity of
keystone operational
taxonomic units (OTUs) differed entirely between rubber plantation and rainforest
sites, further underscoring the altered network structure. More edges and
more negative correlations within the soil bacterial–fungal networks were
observed at rubber plantation sites (dry season: 4284 total edges, 844
negative; rainy season: 7257 total edges, 1744 negative) than at rainforest
sites (dry season: 3650 total edges, 149 negative; rainy season: 6018 total edges, 489
negative), demonstrating that soil bacterial–fungal network structure was
more complex and stable in rubber plantations than in rainforests. For
bacteria, a larger number of network edges were observed among bacterial
networks in samples from tropical rainforest than in samples from rubber
plantations, indicating that rainforest bacterial networks were more complex
than those from rubber plantations. However, soil fungal networks from
rubber plantations showed more links, suggesting that forest conversion
increased fungal network complexity. More edges of network and more links
between species and functions were observed in the rainy season than in the
dry season, indicating that seasonal changes had a strong effect on network
structure and function. Further analysis shows that soil pH, potassium (AK), and
total nitrogen (TN) had more links with species of some phyla. In
conclusion, forest conversion results in an increase in soil pH as well as a
decrease in AK and TN, and these changes as well as seasonal variations had
a great impact on soil microbial composition, network structure and
function.

Authors: Ghalayani Parichehr , Pakravan Fahimeh , Abbasi Fatemeh
Published: March 2022

Objectives: Lichenoid reactions are disorders with similar clinical presentations. The current study was conducted to compare the improvement indices in the patients’ symptoms by Salvizan and triamcinolone gels. Therefore, regardless of the cause, eliminating the pain and symptoms is one of the objectives of the treatment.Methods: This study was designed as a randomized double-blind clinical trial. Diagnosis of patients was performed by clinical examinations and confirmed by histological evaluation. One group of patients was administered Salvizan and another group was administered triamcinolone. After washing their mouth, the patients administered the gel (1 cm) on the inflammatory mucosa three times a day for two weeks. The amelioration rate of the lesions in each visit was measured from according to Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on a scale of 0-10.Results: The results of repeated measures ANCOVA showed a significant difference between groups in terms of the pain intensity before treatment (p<0.001). Moreover, there was a significant difference between different times with regard to pain intensity (p=0.004). To evaluate the clinical indices in the study groups, Mann-Whitney test was used and the results showed no significant difference for the extent of lesions before treatment (p=0.874), after one week (p=0.503) and after two weeks (p=0.669).Conclusions: Salvizan could better reduce pain intensity than triamcinolone, but clinically no significant difference was reported between the drugs in terms of the extent of lesion.

Published: March 2022

The Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) is a widely used family of instruments for measuring attitude constructs in statistics education. Since the development of the SATS instruments, there has been an evolution in the understanding of validity in the field of educational measurement emphasizing validation as an on-going process. While a 2012 review of statistics education attitude instruments noted that the SATS family had the most validity evidence, two types of challenges to the use of these instruments have emerged: challenges to the interpretations of scale scores and challenges using the SATS instruments in populations other than undergraduate students enrolled in introductory statistics courses. A synthesis of the literature and empirical results are used to document these challenges.
EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF WORKED EXAMPLE VIDEOS FOR BLENDED LEARNING IN A LARGE-ENROLMENT BUSINESS STATISTICS COURSE
Authors: DART SARAH
Published: March 2022

Statistics courses are frequently perceived by tertiary students as extremely difficult and anxiety-inducing, negatively impacting student outcomes and experiences. To address this, the present study considered worked example videos (where an instructor demonstrates the solution to a problem while narrating the process) as a blended learning approach for enhancing an introductory business statistics course taken by 2265 students over three semesters. Impact was evaluated with video usage, academic performance, and student survey data. Students heavily utilised worked example videos before assessment deadlines, frequently employing active learning strategies during their engagements. Improvements in academic performance and course satisfaction were observed compared to previous cohorts. This demonstrates worked example videos are well-suited to large-enrolment courses due to their highly scalable capacity to deliver timely support for learning, which individuals can tailor to their diverse needs.

Published: March 2022

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is an approach that has emerged in medical practice. In 2000, Sackett et al. stated the most common definition of the EBP approach: "the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values". Over time, many elements have been added and discussed by various authors to this initial definition (cost and duration of the intervention, therapist skills, regional resources provided for health, cultural influences, …). With evolution of the EBP approach, and these successive additions, we wish to propose a new definition of the EBP in order to bring it a more contemporary and complete face. For that reason, the different objectives of this article are : - to explain why making such a proposal : a new extended definition - to propose a new extended definition - to explain our semantic choices - to propose (and explain) an updated graphic model for the extended definition

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a disabling and chronic condition that affects women of all ages. Pelvic organs can protrude outside the body through the vagina due to weakness in the pelvic floor. POP affects patients both physically and psychologically. Most women with POP suffer from at least one other pelvic floor disorder, such as incontinence. Pelvic organ prolapse increases nationwide, namely, anterior, posterior and middle compartments prolapse. Plenty of different kits had created in recent years for reconstruction surgery. Among those surgical kits, synthetic material augmentation plays a major role, for last Decade, however, Food and Drug Administ-ration raised (FDA) a red flag due to massive complication, such as spontaneous vaginal pain, extrution, there-fore, Nowdays, selection of proper material for reconstruction surgery is important for life quality. it divides into two systems: anchor non-anchor system. Hence, we attempt to compare a novel modified surgical technique involving a non-anchor system with the conventional anchor approach to determine the effectiveness of these two systems for treating POP. In this study, we compared the benefit, disadvantage, side effects, and complications for the two systems. Then we found that the modified tiling approach can be used to prevent the aforementioned surgical risks. Furthermore, if patients cannot bear the cost of using the required instruments, they can consider undergoing the modified nonanchor surgical procedure.

Published: March 2022

In this study, some physico-chemical properties of the agriculturally produced soils in Adana's Ceyhan plain were determined and their relations with each other were tried to be explained. For this purpose, a total of 46 soil samples were taken from the agricultural production areas in the Ceyhan plain. Field capacity, wilting point, available water, hydraulic conductivity and other routine analyzes of the soil samples taken were done in the laboratory. According to the results; The average pH of the soils (7.73) was slightly alkaline, the total lime (19.06%) was very calcareous, and the salt content (0.15%) was in the slightly salty class. The physical properties of the soils, average clay 37.13%, sand 36.65% and hydraulic conductivity were determined as 0.46 cmh-1. According to the results, it has been observed that the water permeability of the soils of the Ceyhan plain is very low due to the high clay content, and the Ceyhan plain soils were low saline class. In addition, although the field capacity of the studied soils was high, it was determined that the water content suitable for the plant was not high. This can be explained by the high clay content of the plain soils. Organic regulators (such as leonardite, cattle manure) can be applied to improve the light salt problem, water permeability and useful water content of the Ceyhan plain soils.

In the sunflower, which is an important oilseed and confection plant (Helianthus annuus L.), a study was conducted in 2013-2014 in Ankara province in order to determine the distribution and density of Homoeosoma nebulellum (Den. & Schiff.) which causes lost in terms of quality and quantity. The data were obtained from surveys in Ayaş, Bala, Beypazarı and Kalecik districts where sunflower was found intensively. In the same period, the adult flights in Kalecik district were observed by the delta-type traps containing an sexual attractive pheromone and the period that the pest was harmful in the sunflower was determined. As a result of the study, H.nebulellum was recorded as 94.37-100% widespread in Ayas, Kalecik, Bala and Beypazarı districts. In 2013, the infestation rate of pest in the sunflower fields were determined by 4.77%, 7.51, 4.76 and 1.09 in Ayaş, Kalecik, Bala and Beypazarı districts, respectively. In 2014, decreasing infestation rates were determined except Beypazarı district and the rates were recorded as 3.73%, 6.45, 3.15 and 1.40, respectively. The density of the pest in the infestated fields were 8.08, 9.93, 2.75 and 6.56 piece larvae/infestated plant in Kalecik, Bala and Beypazarı districts in 2013, respectively. In 2014, it was determined as 2.87, 5.66, 3.08 and 2.25 piece larvae / infestated plant respectively. H. nebulellum larvae was determined as causing yield loss by feeding in newly formed sunflower seeds. By monitoring swarming periods of European sunflower moth, seasonal swarming periods were determined. As a result of the study, the situation of pest in Ankara was observed and the critical period, which is important for management was determined by monitoring with pheremon traps.

The aim of this study was to determine chickpea varieties that can be grown at different sowing times in Şırnak-Idil conditions and their important agricultural and vegetative properties. The study was carried out in two sowing times (winter and early spring) with 10 chickpea varieties (Azkan, Arda, Aksu, Botan, Hasanbey, Arslanbey, Caner, Onur, Seçkin and Sezgin) according to the randomized complete blocks, split plot experimental design, with 3 replications, sowing times as main plots, varieties as subplots in 2020/2021 growing season. As a result of the research, in different growing periods of various chickpea varieties the number of days until flowering; plant height, first pod height, number of branches, number of pods, hundred seed weight, and seed yield varied between 77.83 and 147.03 days, between 30.52 and 39.65 cm, between 19.33 and 19.96 cm, between 2.89 and 3.01 per plant, between 10.46 and 27.38 per plant, between 33.28 and 37.75 g and between 78.34 and 112.41 kg da-1, respectively. As a result of the research, it was determined that winter sowing time were superior to early spring sowing time in terms of yield and yield components. Winter sowing time can be recommended in similar ecologies where the research is carried out. In addition, Aksu, Hasanbey, Sezgin and Onur cultivars in the study were superior to other cultivars in the year the experiment was conducted in terms of yield and some yield-related characteristics.

The Influence of Business Performance on Credit Accessbility to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs)
Authors: Chandrayanti Teti
Published: March 2022

This study investigates the influence of performance of micro and small enterprises on accessing external finance from banks. This study used data from 30 respondents of MSEs by survey questionnaires in West Sumatera, Indonesia. The study used simple linear regression model with the access of credit as the dependent variable and performance of business as the independent variable. The results confirm that the performance of MSEs significantly affect accessibility to external finance from banks. The study recommended that both financial and non-financial measures are important in determining access to credit. Therefore, businesses have to improve their resources in order to increase their performance and to improve their accessibility to credit. Due to their limitations in preparing financial statements, the hybrid approach of using financial and non-financial measures should be considered by financial institutions to assess the conditions of the business. A conductive environment should be created for good relationships among stakeholders.

Conceptualizing Person-environment Fit and the Meaning of Work for Tourist Guides in Malaysia During and Post COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ng Yen Phin , Dousin Oscar , Kler Balvinder Kaur
Published: March 2022

This paper aims to conceptualizes the influence of person-environment fit (P-E fit) towards the meaning of work (MoW) for tourist guides (TGs) in Malaysia during and post-COVID-19 pandemic. TGs are key frontline workers whose employment is affected by the pandemic. A multilevel construct of P-E fit is adopted (person-organizational fit, person-job fit, and person-group fit) conceptualized as a correlation towards the tripartite work orientation of the MoW (job, career and calling). Four propositions emerge. Junior TGs view their work as a job and/or career; senior TGs perceive their work as a calling. Secondly, person-organizational fit and person-group fit has no influence with ‘job’, while person-job fit could partially influence ‘job’ where demands-abilities has no influence on ‘job’ but need-supplies fit influences ‘job’. Next, person-organization fit and person-job fit correlate with guides’ ‘career’ but not with person-group fit.  Finally, all three fits relate to ‘calling’. TGs with a ‘job’ relationship possess low meaning of work; ‘career’ has moderate meaning of work, and ‘calling’ experience high meaning of work. Practitioners benefit from knowledge of levels of correlations between constructs; useful for implementing resilience strategies for post crisis and beyond. A thorough understanding among TGs to remain engaged and motivated is useful for training courses.
From Theory to Practice: The Process of Participatory Theatre in Community Development
Authors: Asante Evans
Published: March 2022

A major concern in community development is the application of various theories, practices, and models that are relevant to the development agenda of the selected community. Participatory theatre practice has been identified as one of such models linking theory and practice in a community development process. Students undergoing training in participatory theatre and community development are introduced to several theories and concepts whose application in the field of work may be quite different from the classroom experience. This paper explores pertinent participatory theatre theories, concepts, and ideals and how they can be effectively put to use at the communal level to achieve an expected outcome. The paper aims to present an easy practical approach to participatory theatre practice in community development.
Effects of anthropogenic habitat disturbance on the home range size and habitat preference of the Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina)
Authors: Brown Abbi S. , Mech Stephen G. , Drasher James M.
Published: March 2022

The Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) is a vulnerable species with decreasing population density from anthropogenic development and habitat loss. To determine the impact of electric utility pole replacement and vegetation maintenance on the home range size and habitat preference of T. carolina carolina, we radio-tagged 13 box turtles and located them weekly from April to November 2019, recording several habitat measurements at each location. We performed a principal component analysis of vegetation data and estimated home range size using 95% minimum convex polygon (MCP), kernel, and Brownian-bridge methods. Our data indicate that turtles prefer shrub cover and avoid rocky areas. While there was no significant difference between male and female home range size, a post hoc analysis dividing females into right-of-way (ROW) and non-ROW groups revealed a significant difference in female home range size, which may result from accessibility of higher-quality nesting sites within the ROW compared with surrounding forest stands.
CULTURA DA BANANA

Published: March 2022

Este capítulo se propõe a reunir e divulgar informações sobre os caminhos para a comercialização da banana no vale do submédio do São Francisco, mais especificamente no polo Petrolina/Juazeiro, abordando questões de comercialização e mercado; apresentando para esse fim, informações sobre classificação dos frutos, dados da produção, exportação e variação de preços. Porém, embora focado ao polo Petrolina/Juazeiro serão abordadas informações relacionadas à bananicultura brasileira. A banana é a fruta mais produzida e consumida no mundo, o Brasil está entre os maiores produtores da fruta ocupando posição de destaque em uma lista encabeçada por Índia e China. Porém, embora o Brasil esteja entre os maiores produtores de banana do mundo, não aparece entres os maiores exportadores da fruta, visto que a maior parte da produção é consumida no mercado interno. O polo Petrolina/Juazeiro, composto por municípios do estado da Bahia e Pernambuco, estão situados no vale do Submédio do São Francisco. É importante ressaltar que os municípios integrantes do polo apresentam grande vocação para agricultura irrigada devido principalmente ao clima, ao solo, à boa qualidade da água do rio São Francisco e aos projetos irrigados responsáveis pela distribuição da água nas áreas agrícolas. A região é conhecida principalmente pela produção de manga e uva, porém outras atividades agrícolas, a exemplo da produção de banana, contribuem com o desenvolvimento da região. Segundo a Embrapa, em 2018 o consumo aparente de banana no Brasil, que corresponde a uma relação entre o saldo produção mais importação menos exportação e o número de habitantes, foi de 26,0 kg/habitante/ano. O cultivo em todas as regiões do país aliada à oferta da fruta durante o ano todo contribuem para o grande consumo, responsável por movimentar em 2020 um valor de mais de R$ 8 bilhões. A banana produzida no campo chega ao consumido final por meio da comercialização direta do produtor em feiras livres; através de varejistas (supermercados, verdurões, feiras livres) que negociam diretamente com o produtor ou com atacadistas, atravessadores (intermediários) e com a agroindústria responsável pelo processamento da fruta. Esse mercado estimado em 213,3 milhões de possíveis consumidores desperta o interesse de muitos produtores acirrando a competitividade nesse ramo.
