Partnership to support organic Fairtrade banana in Dominican Republic and Peru
Fairtrade France has launched a €1 million project funded by the French Development Agency and French supermarket chain Carrefour aimed at supporting environmentally friendly practices and promoting gender equality across organic Fairtrade banana supply chains. This will involve supporting 11 small farmers’ organisations over a three-year period in the Dominican Republic and Peru. The Dominican Republic is the largest producer of organic bananas worldwide; Peru accounts for around one fifth of global production. In both countries, bananas are predominantly produced by small scale farmers organised into cooperative organizations or associations.
