The first Banana Congress of the Colombian Caribbean 2023 will be held\u00a0between Thursday, May 18 and Friday, May 19, at the facilities of the Santamar Star Hotel and Convention Center, in the city of Santa Marta.<\/p>\n

This event is the most important for the banana sector.\u00a0The congress represents the evolution of the five editions of the forum, according to the Association of Banana Growers of Magdalena and La Guajira (Asbma),\u00a0which have allowed the positioning of Santa Marta as the banana capital of Colombia<\/u>\u00a0bananas<\/u>.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Banana Forum 2022 highlighted Banana as the world leader in the Fresh fruit trade <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

For this meeting, entrepreneurs, scientists, associations, public officials and members of this agro-industrial section will gather,\u00a0demonstrating and verifying the progress obtained from the previous versions of the banana forum.<\/p>\n

“Last year, we had a very successful forum and once we analyzed the results, the demand for commercial spaces and the very good academic offer, we made the decision\u00a0in conjunction with the board of directors, to enlarge and become a congress. We\u2019ll enlarge\u00a0our commercial sample and maintain a high academic standard with respected scientists from the banana industry who will be accompanying us at this 2023 congress in Asbama,” said Jos\u00e9 Francisco Z\u00fa\u00f1iga Cotes, Executive President of Asbama.<\/p>\n

This event is carried out in order to create a space dedicated to the analysis, reflection and originating unique and innovative\u00a0contributions\u00a0around significant and relevant problems of this productive sector. It\u2019ll also be making available to agribusiness all the necessary knowledge and scientific progress that has been generated in recent years\u00a0in areas such as irrigation, diseases, phytosanitary aspects and the commercial part of bananas.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

“We recently confirmed the presence of the Minister of Agriculture, Cecilia L\u00f3pez; the president of the Agrarian Bank, Hernando Chica; the Executive president of CAF-Development Bank of Latin America, Sergio D\u00edaz Granados.\u00a0Also present will be\u00a0the manager in charge of ICA, Juan Fernando Roa Ort\u00edz and the economic adviser to the President of the Republic, Dr. Cesar Ferrari.”<\/p>\n

Government describes the strategy to Contain Foc R4T in the Banana sector as Successful<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA) has prohibited visits by other personnel to farms, since in Magdalena and La Guajira there are outbreaks of Fusarium Race 4 Tropical Wilt (Foc R4T), which is a disease that affects banana and plantain <\/u><\/a>plantations, causing wilting and death. Asbama complies with the measure and it is sent as a recommendation to visitors.<\/p>\n

In this sense,\u00a0the state will evaluate\u00a0the tourist developments\u00a0of Santa Marta because international experts will be coming. It\u00a0is also estimated\u00a0that 1,200 people from Colombia, from the banana industry\u00a0will also come here.<\/p>\n

“We are banana growers. We have our headquarters in Santa Marta, but we have a regional influence and that helps us to have an important dynamic for the promotion of bananas, but also, the promotion of our city. It is a meeting that will generate a hotel dynamic because many people come from abroad and that is for the economy and event tourism,” said Jos\u00e9 Francisco Z\u00fa\u00f1iga, executive president of Asbama.<\/p>\n
