TURBANA

WITH FAIR TRADE, EVERYONE PROFITS.
Turbana is proud to say that we have employed Fair Trade
practices before the term even existed. And we were the first
major banana company to offer Fair Trade Certified^TM bananas
to the North American market. Fair Trade certification ensures fair
prices to our farmers, protects their rights and contributes to the
creation of a sustainable living and working environment where
families and communities can thrive.

GOOD FOR FARMERS GOOD FOR CONSUMERS

FARMING FAIRLY. TRADING FAIRLY.

Our parent company Uniban counts more Fair Trade Certified farms than any other banana company. Fair Trade not only provides a way to improve growers’ incomes and workers’ wages, but also provides infrastructure and support for self-governed life improvement projects. In addition, it encourages farming and business practices that ensure environmental sustainability.

Through Fair Trade, farmers receive a minimum set price for their crops, as well as financial and technical support, safe working conditions, economic development, and education. They become stakeholders and reinvest profits to strengthen their business and communities, including health clinics, schools, housing and leadership training. Fair Trade certification also ensures that farmers obey all internationally monitored environmental standards and implement sustainable practices.
