Mercado halting invetments on Banana Maturation Chambers

Since the banana market has big volumes associated but low margins, the giant supermarket company Mercadona had invested in 91 maturations chambers in Spain, and they had a project to invest in 100 more. However, they decided to stop the construction and sell everything because they didn't have the know-how to manage the chambers. Each maturation chamber has the capacity for an FCL of 40 or 24 MT, so when the maturation goes wrong, the losses are very high. Mercadona made a new annual agreement with suppliers to supply banana market in Spain, so it didn't affect the market in general.
