El Carmen is one of the main banana producing areas for the industry and export in Ecuador. 80% of that crop goes to the United States and Europe with the rest going to the local market.
In these summer months, production has been small because of lack of irrigation. This low production has some benefits for growers however, as it has generated a significant increase in price.
The value established for the exportation of the box of bananas is $ 7.30, but it currently reaches $ 13. Wilmer Vale
