The UN FAO urges more cooperation in the banana sector
The participants of the Fourth Banana World Forum will discuss the main challenges, such as climate change, the costs of fertilizers and transportation, and the TR4 disease.

At the opening of the event, FAO Director-General Tzu Tung-ju referred to many aspects of the banana’s importance: “Bananas are one of the most important fruits in terms of global trade and consumption – the more than 1,000 varieties produced worldwide provide essential nutrients for many.”
