ABOUT US?
¿QUIÉNES SOMOS?
We are an organization that groups together small partner producers, located in 3 provinces: El Oro, Guayas, and Azuay, which produce and export Fair Trade bananas, complying with social and environmental standards. It supplies conventional and organic bananas, as well as mashed bananas (conventional and organic) to the United States and Switzerland.
One aspect that helps to remain united and grow is the fact that Asoguabo has its own importing company whose name is Agrofair, where the association has a stake in this company, which means that each producer partner of Asoguago has a voice and vote in Agrofair’s shareholder meeting.
We are Small Producers, Great People
The people who grow our bananas do so with true love for it. If you have tried banana from Asoguabo, you will surely know why! If not give it a try, our banana is so versatile and delicious. Discover the people who are in charge of the cultivation:
