BanaBay, successful start-up with premium bananas

With over 30 years of experience in banana production and marketing in Ecuador, the BanaBay company has been active in the international export and distribution area for two years now.  BanaBay offers a short supply chain, with the freshest bananas guaranteed. The company also runs its own plantations, ensuring its consumers can enjoy great tasting fruit all year round. The top quality bananas that BanaBay delivers are grown on several Cavendish variety banana plantations, located on Ecuador’s most fertile soils, in the counties of El Oro and Los Rios. “We are combining excellent post-harvest and environmental practices, which has enabled us to win over 10 different awards due to the quality of our plantations”, explains the Managing Director. Production practices include careful propagation, transplanting, pruning, irrigation, harvesting and storage, guaranteeing the highest quality and the magnificent flavour of their bananas. 
BanaBay is already working in many countries and diverse regions such as New Zealand, China, Europe and the US. In 2013, the family business managed to expand its presence in the European and American markets. Exported volumes have doubled, reaching 2.2 million tons in the last 12 months.  BanaBay’s mission is to be the Customers’ First Choice. “We strive to deliver the best quality fruit to our retail and wholesale customers, working enthusiastically, always innovating and delivering top-quality bananas”. The focus on fast reaction and certificated product quality has helped make this start-up a resounding success.
