Ecuador: Banana Producers Concerned over El Niño arrival

freshplaza.com reported Gustavo Marún, president of the Regional Corporation of Ecuadorian Banana Producers, said that, despite winter being good for the banana sector, they were worried about El Niño’s arrival. According to him, the sector is holding meetings with the mayors of Los Ríos, Guayas and El Oro to discuss irrigation systems in low areas and plan preventive actions so that the necessary measures are taken.
He said that, given their location, the banana plantations in Puebloviejo, from Ventanas to Babahoyo, were the ones facing the most risk. For example, the Puebloviejo River is absolutely obstructed and they should start cleaning it, as well as all the estuaries that are a natural threat, so there is a faster flow of rainfall and banana plantations are affected less.
