Peru - Where bananas are grown (sitios de interés)

Peru has become a significant exporter of organic bananas over the last decade. They are produced entirely by very small-scale farmers organised in associations. SITAG, the agricultural workers' union of Peru, is campaigning (with international support) to abolish the 'Law 27360' which drastically reduces the legal protection provided to workers in the agricultural industry.

In 2010 Peru exported over 50,000 tonnes to the EU, up 15% from 2009.
