Ecuadorian banana exports experienced a slowdown during the first ten months of 2019. According to data provided by the Banana Marketing and Export Association (Acorbanec), in that period, the country exported 293.82 million boxes, i.e. 1.51% more than what the country shipped out in the same period of 2018. However, exports in that same period in 2018 and 2017 increased by 5.73% and 3.42% over the previous year, respectively. Acorbanec attributes this reduction to the decrease in purchases made
