Ecuadorian Banana Exports Increase by 73% YoY to Qatar

Export data shows that so far in 2022, Ecuadorian banana exports to Qatar increased 73% YoY, exporting 221.5K more 18.14kg boxes than in 2021. One of the reasons for the increased demand is the decreased Philippine banana supply, as the country has been facing Fusarium R4. Also, the Ecuadorian embassy has been introducing more Ecuadorian products to Qatar ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Other markets that have shown export growth are Oman (+213% YoY), Turkey (+15.52% YoY), and Jordan (+96.27% YoY).
