- History
Verzabana Ecuador S.A.
Verzabana Ecuador S.A. is an Ecuadorian family-owned company deeply rooted in the tradition and passion for agriculture. Founded by a banana-producing family, our goal is to export bananas grown with excellence, committed to quality and innovation at every stage of our processes, from planting to harvest. Each fruit receives the utmost care and attention to ensure exceptional freshness, quality, flavor, and safety in every bite. Our dedication to bananas makes us a reliable partner that distributes top-quality agricultural supplies, helping the development of our fellow farmers by providing them with the tools and resources needed for optimal production throughout Ecuador.
Traditional and Sustainable Management: Keys to Our Estate.
Our model estate is approximately 20 years old since its planting. During this time, the plantation has been managed in a traditional manner, preparing the soil for planting, with dimensions of 2.36 meters in width and 2.90 meters in length, totaling 1,460 plants per hectare at planting. A proper fertilization cycle is carried out both in the soil and on the leaves, without neglecting fungicides for Sigatoka. It is important to note that these products do not affect the soil, are environmentally friendly, and do not impact the fruit. Additionally, the agricultural tasks carried out are crucial, such as the selection of shoots (suckers), bunch wrapping, and protection, to achieve optimal quality.
- Planting & Harvesting
Harvesting and Packaging of Bananas: A Careful Process for Export.
From the moment the bunch is wrapped in a bellota, it takes about 11 to 12 weeks for the bunch to be ready for harvest. For the cutting process, we use a harvesting ladder to avoid damaging the bunch and the return shoot (sucker). It is then transported to the packing plant, where it is processed correctly. The bananas are packaged, either as a whole cluster or by hand, for subsequent export.
