 BANANO ECUADOR-ECUADORTIMES
Bananas represent 20% (data until May) of exports of Ecuador, just $ 500 million less than the money generated by oil. But in the last six months data are not very encouraging: sales growth of 18.14 kilos boxes, was only 0.70%. Nothing compared to the 17.89% and 7.89% growth in 2014 and 2015.

According to the Association of Banana Exporters (AEBEfor its Spanish acronym) the banana industry generates direct and indirect sources of employment to 2 million people involved in the different stages of the value chain. An example of this is transportation from farms to ports, each year 300,000 freights are recorded, which 100% of the fruit is transported in trucks.
