To us, social responsibility and the lowest possible ecological footprint are a top priority. We see taking care of the health of the planet as implicit, not a choice. We care for our planet; we don’t do shortcuts. The earth provides and we let her do exactly that, without intervening where there is no need to. Everything used in the growing process is absorbed into the banana. That is why every step of the process is the most natural and honest, to ensure a 100% organic banana.
We can confidently say that we have implemented multiple practices to drastically reduce water waste in our growing process. Now we focus on eliminating all plastic from the ripening process and, fair pricing of the product. But hey, we’re not stopping there! There is always room for improvement, and together, we’re progressing towards a greener production every step of the way.
BETTER FOR THE PLANET
ORGANIC FARMING
Bananas grown organically leave a smaller footprint on our planet. We skip the chemicals, choose for natural disease fighters like garlic and chili, and nourish the soil with natural fertilizers.
WATER REDUCTION
Our precision irrigation techniques tailor watering schedules to each plant’s needs, slashing water waste while ensuring optimal hydration. We currently invest in drip irrigation systems for a sustainable agriculture with less waste of water.
PLASTIC REDUCTION
We’re ditching plastics throughout our chain, from farm to shelf. It’s a journey of creativity and innovation toward a plastic-free future.
OIL-FREE FARM
Solar power fuels our banana growing, minimizing oil use and making our process cleaner and greener.

No banana left behind! Even the imperfect ones find purpose in smoothies, banana bread, and powering our retro Bionana van.
