Facts

Ecuadorian Flag

Ecuador

Located between Colombia and Peru, Ecuador has an amazingly diverse landscape –from the highlands and towering volcanoes to the rain forest and low-lying coastal areas. With its tropical climate and fertile soils, Ecuador is the world’s biggest banana exporter, accounting for 30% of global exports.

Guayas

The banana farms are close to Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest town and most important sea port, so it is an ideal place for growing and exporting bananas. Soils are deep and productivity particularly high in the region.

Climate

The climate is hot and humid all around the year. Perfect for bananas! Weather
