Abstract: Banana is an important tropical fruit and China is the world's third largest banana producer. The standardization level of banana industry not only affects the yield and quality of banana, but also plays an important role in promoting the production standardization and industrialization of other tropical crops. Through the analysis of revision, publicity and implementation of banana standard system in China as well as the study on its standard system and quality and safety standards, it is found that there are some problems such as irrational banana standard structure, short period of validity of standard, low level of quality and safety standards, and loose link between standards and production. At the same time, some recommendations are put forward in order to guide the standardized production and trade, research and management of banana and promote sustained, healthy and stable development of the banana industry in China.
