jueves 10 mayo 2007
Company proposed to plant in Honduras bio banana trees. Plantation is situated in South of the country. Economy vice-minister, Mario Ramon Lopez, said that the initial 100 hectares of banana trees cultivation may be ready just in the end of this year. 52 producers are interested in this investment worth 1,3 million dollars.
Close attention to this new bio banana plantation project pay also activists of the organisations of environment protection who have likewise strong influence on the atmosphere of this new plan of big banana producer. Also the health of the workers employed on this plantation could be liable to suffer from the pesticides that could be used in the fields. Environment friendly banana production should serve not only the protection of natural environment but also workers should profit on this new project.
Bananas, mainly marked by Chiquita company with 150 million dollars export value, are the second most important export product of Honduras.
