Implementing measures supported by the government, the sector wants to revive the production of bananas in light of the loss of 40% of crop areas and reduced exports.
Hector Castro, President of the National Association of Banana Producers (Aprobana) “said they are seeking government support so that they can be positioned among the top banana exporting countries, as they were in the 70s.”
He further indicated that “the theme of growth contains two fundamental aspects in any business: productivity and market access.”
“Among the actions to be taken to rescue banana exports is renewal of properties, because the soils are depleted and compacted. However, to achieve this fresh resources are needed with low interest rates that can be of help to producers.”
