âFrom March 2020 to date, we have donated 1,248,900 bananasâ Banana company One Bananas has their own sustainable farms in Guatemala, Ecuador and Peru. Robert Adams, President of One Banana Co. says: âLate last year, eastern Guatemala and Honduras were severely impacted by two hurricanes: Eta and Iota, causing devastating damage to farms and communities. This was in addition to the Covid crisis that was already impacting communities.â Demand returning to normal after turbulence of 2020 Throughout 2020, demand patterns for the banana industry were affected by the covid crisis. Now, it seems to be slowly returning to a somewhat more normal pattern of demand. âDemand has been stable, as we begin to see retailer and wholesalers slowly begin to recover from the pandemic,â says Adams. While conventional bananas have seen some ups and downs throughout the pandemic, the demand for organic produce seems to have actually risen during the pandemic.
