Description

PRODUCTION & SOURCING

Banana production begins with the cultivation of banana plants in tropical and subtropical regions, where they thrive in warm temperatures and ample sunlight. The propagation of banana plants typically involves the use of rhizomes or suckers obtained from mature banana plants. Once planted, banana plants require regular care, including watering and pest control measures, to ensure healthy growth and development. Harvesting occurs when the bananas reach the desired stage of ripeness, which varies depending on market preferences and intended use. Harvested bananas are carefully cut from the plant in entire bunches and transported to processing facilities. Sorting is conducted to remove damaged or defective fruits, ensuring uniform quality. Sourcing bananas involves establishing relationships with reliable growers who prioritize sustainable farming practices and ethical labor standards.
