Dominican Republic - Where bananas are grown (sitios de interés)

Dominican Republic is set to overtake Cameroon as the ACP group's largest banana exporter, now producing large quantities of conventional, organic and Fairtrade bananas. The industry has more than doubled in size over the last decade and now employs over 15,000 people, many of whom are migrant workers from neighbouring Haiti.

In 2010 the Dominican Republic exported 1.2 303.5 thousand tonnes of bananas into the EU, up 33.1% from 2009.
