What happened
The profitability of the banana export sector in Colombia is reportedly declining due to increasing pressure on the supply chain. While the current supply is adequate to meet demand, growers are concerned about several operational challenges. These issues include unpredictable weather patterns, such as those influenced by El Niño and La Niña cycles, along with disease pressure from issues like Black Sigatoka.
