Ecuador broke its banana export record in 2018.

Russia, the USA, Italy, Germany and Turkey were named the main destinations of these Ecuadorian fruits. It is also one of the best-selling food products in its domestic market.

As for the growing system, which is the basis of the product for export, it is produced according to a completely traditional monocultural model with very little variety. The current variety of bananas is mainly concentrated in the Cavendish variety.

Every year, over 100 billion bananas are consumed worldwide.

Similarly, in the case of bananas, a commercial export product cultivation system stands out in monoculture areas and is planted according to the traditional model with irrigation irrigation systems.

These production systems for both banana and plantain for export are located in the lower tropical zone of the coast, mainly in the provinces of Guayas, El Oro and Los Rios, due to the fact that these regions have some strategic amenities, including proximity to seaports and the availability of fertile land and plenty of water for irrigating plantations.
