United Exports entered the banana business in Ecuador in 2017 with the aim of offering premium quality fruit to our customers worldwide. We have forged long-term relationships with producers and customers, and leveraged our extensive shipping contacts in order to secure competitive freights to ensure that the fruit arrives in the best condition.

Process
Banana bunches are harvested and transported to the packing plant on rails
Quality inspectors measure thickness and length, and check for softness, bugs, marks and other issues
Banana hands are cut, visually classified, and put in a pool for cleaning
Another inspection is carried out, defects are cut out, and the bananas go into another pool
The last step is the fumigation before the labelling, packing, and loading

Special Care
The growing bunches are covered with bags to protect from insects and environmental hazards
