Brazilian banana exports dropped in January compared to the same month last year. According to Secex, the volume shipped was 7.28 thousand tonnes, down 12%. As a result, revenue dropped 9%, amounting to just US$ 2.98 million (FOB).

This drop is due, despite the good volume harvested here, to financial obstacles in Argentina, one of the leading importers of the Brazilian fruit. Furthermore, there was a plentiful supply of bananas at lower prices and higher quality in Paraguay, Brazil’s main competitor. The scenario for February should be similar.
