Banana growing is a promising sector, with attractive export opportunities for fair trade and eco-bananas to International markets

 

The cooperative aims to boost productivity and to grow a better quality fruit. Thru training sessions and knowledge transfer by VICTO experts, the cooperative has already made progress in improving productivity and quality. It is making every effort to gain fair trade certification, which would bestow a great deal of advantages on its members. This particular support phase is centred on creating a solid economic base for the cooperative and its farmers. An obvious next step is financing production, investing in production plant or further professionalising the cooperative organisation.
