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.

Asoagribal, El Oro

El Oro is historically the major banana-growing region in Ecuador. The provincial capital of Machala is known as the Banana Capital of the World.

Climate

The climate is warm and humid. It is cooler in the highlands than on the coast, which make it the perfect place to grown bananas organically.
