Meet the star of Ecuadorian exports
Published on 23 October 2017
A great advantage of being a country located in the middle of the world, is to have the perfect conditions to be able to plant different types of fruits. Thanks to this, Ecuador has become the largest producer of bananas worldwide. Taking advantage of this advantage, over time it has also become one of the main exporters of bananas globally, supplying 30% of the global supply. In countries like Russia, 94% of banana imports come from Ecuador.
