In Ecuador, one of our long-established growers and exporters has built its reputation not only on the quality of its bananas but also on its commitment to sustainable farming and trade. With three generations of family leadership, the company has become a benchmark for how agricultural businesses in the region can operate responsibly while serving global markets.

A defining feature of their approach is the investment in renewable energy. On their own farms, they operate one of the few solar-powered installations in the Ecuadorian banana industry. This move reduces reliance on fossil fuels, cuts carbon emissions, and demonstrates how clean energy can be successfully integrated into large-scale agriculture.

Certified for Responsibility

Every farmer in their network holds the GLOBALG.A.P. certification, ensuring compliance with responsible farming standards such as worker welfare, environmental protection, and food safety.

Their export processes are equally robust, maintaining over a decade of BASC certification, which upholds security, integrity, and ethical standards throughout their international trade operations.

They also hold DELTAGLOBAL certification, reinforcing their commitment to food quality and best agricultural practices.

These certifications guarantee not only product quality but also reassure international buyers that the produce is grown with respect for people and the planet.

Beyond farming practices, the business also upholds international BASC certification, which promotes secure, ethical, and transparent export operations. This long-term commitment underscores the importance of trust and responsibility throughout the supply chain, from farm to global customer.

The result is a model that balances productivity with accountability. By embedding sustainability into daily operations, whether through renewable energy, certifications, or ethical logistics, this Ecuadorian supplier is proving that environmental and social responsibility can go hand in hand with commercial success.
