The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2021-2030 report forecasts a 36 million ton increase in Latin American banana production by 2030 due to rising global demand. This growth is expected to be led by countries like Ecuador, Guatemala, Colombia, and Costa Rica, with the Caribbean seeing benefits as well, especially the Dominican Republic and Belize. However, this growth faces challenges such as erratic weather and disease, while the United States, the world's second-largest banana importer, shows a slight decrease in import demand. Africa's banana exports, dominated by Côte d'Ivoire, are also expected to grow slightly at a 1% annual rate.
