The EU and Inter-American Development Bank have set up a fund of $60 million to boost the competitiveness of the banana sector in the Dominican Republic.
The fund was announced last week by Dominican foreign minister Carlos Morales Troncoso at a meeting with representatives from the country’s banana producers’ association Adobanano.
This new fund is in addition to $25m assigned to the sector by the EU recently. The Dominican Republic is the third largest exporter of bananas to the EU.
The initiative aims to save an estimated 234 tonnes of plastic packaging per year
