Healthily nourish the world is a priority task.

Promoting access to and consumption of a healthy diet is one of the main tasks promoted by the United Nations. According to figures shared in April by the World Health Organization, "1.9 billion adults are overweight or obese, while 462 million people are underweight". On the other hand, it is estimated that 8.9% of the world population suffers from hunger, a figure that is expected to increase as a result of the crisis generated by Covid19. Faced with this problem, within the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development the goal of zero hunger (SDG2) is proposed. Its goals include ensuring access to healthy food, doubling agricultural productivity and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Fruits and vegetables are fundamental components in a nutritious diet due to their contribution of vitamins, minerals, fibers, among other essential elements for human health. Experts recommend consuming more than 400g of fruits and vegetables a day in order to improve overall health, and even reduce the risks of certain diseases.

It is not a coincidence that bananas are one of the favorite fruits worldwide. In addition to its delicious taste and sweetness, bananas are a source of vitamin B6 and C, potassium, fiber, magnesium and manganese. These characteristics make them an important element in diets that contribute to cardiovascular and digestive health. It is also common to see bananas as part of the diet of high performance athletes. To this must be added that the banana has the best natural packaging and the most accessible price throughout the year in the fruit basket.

Reybanpac's mission is to healthily nourish the world, and we are passionate about producing high-quality bananas for you, which are essential for proper nutrition. Our commitment is to develop sustainable agriculture, working responsibly in social, economic and environmental areas. Our banana production is based on good agricultural practices that allow the best growth of our fruit that is exported to 5 continents the 365 days of the year.

Futhermore, we understand the importance of product traceability for consumers. Sustainable development is a shared commitment, and more and more families are taking into account corporate social responsibility and the degree of transparency of companies in their purchase decision. Something that Reybanpac supports. In this regard, we are aimed at evolving our traceability mechanisms to provide customers with a service that responds to new market demands.

Faced with possible threats such as the Fusarium TR4 fungus that has affected banana plantations in other countries, the company invested in infrastructure and prevention mechanisms that are part of the biosecurity protocols to protect our crops.

All our efforts are focused on guaranteeing, today and in the future, the banana supply to millions of families around the world, thus contributing directly to a nutritious diet. At the same time, we cannot fail to mention that we greatly motivated by our own workers. Everything starts from home, and it is a priority for Reybanpac to continue offering our 6,300 employees a job that ensures their progress and general well-being.

On this World Food Day, we reaffirm our commitment to join our energies and work in favor of health and food safety.
