The official said the disrespect to the bill is causing the 50% of the Ecuadorian banana to be sold in less than $ 5.50 in the international market.

Grubafal, recording two fines (the first one of $ 395,294 and the second one of $ 312,612); Exbanecua S. A. (with a fine of $ 440,891); and Frutecua S.A. (with two cautions totaling $ 78,166) are among the companies that have been sanctioned, according to the information given. Colbanano; Dialinspec; Gilberto Zoleta; Produnexus; Contaban; Corralitos; Banaforexport S.A.; Vimpticorp; Aycamban S.A.; Gilberto Zoleta, are also part of that list.

The 55 exporters – who are still being inquired – shall present a justification for not paying through the interbank system an amount of approximately $ 13 million. The deadline for 23 of those companies to present their justification ended yesterday, and the rest of them have 76 hours to do so.
