Bananas are one of the most consumed tropical fruits in the world. Almost 3 out of 4 bananas exported in the world come from Latin America, a region that has only increased its weight in this strategic crop for its economy. The top exporters include Ecuador, the Philippines, Guatemala and Costa Rica, but Mexico has also entered the top 10 in recent years.

In 2022, the Aztec country produced more than 2.5 million tonnes of bananas, almost a third of which were destined for international markets. The importance that this country is gradually acquiring is one of the reasons why the city of Mérida in Mexico has hosted the 2024 edition of Acorbat, the most important scientific and technical meeting dedicated to banana cultivation at international level. 

According to the organisers, the event attracted more than 1,500 visitors per day over the three days, with more than 60 exhibitors. Among them was Seipasa, which attended Acorbat to share its knowledge of banana management from the perspective of biostimulation and, in particular, biocontrol with the presentation of its new portfolio of biofungicide solutions.
