BANASAN is one of the leading international banana marketers in Colombia, based in Santa Marta, Colombia, with nearly 20 years of experience in the market. We currently export more than 12 million boxes per year to Europe, including conventional, organic, Fairtrade bananas from nearly 300 small producers, and organic Fairtrade bananas.
BANAVITAL will be available in Colombia and international markets, opening new culinary options, from baking to typical Caribbean dishes.
The production of BANAVITAL at the BANAPLUS plant, located on the Troncal del Caribe highway, near Ciénaga in the Santa Marta Industrial Logistics Park (Plis), not only promotes sustainability but also provides employment to 22 single mothers, trained by SENA. Additionally, leveraging the high nutritional value of the product, Banasan plans to support vulnerable communities through supply agreements and programs aimed at combating malnutrition.
BANAPLUS expresses: “BANAVITAL represents a milestone for Magdalena, the country, and its banana sector, offering a delicious, nutritious, and versatile product. With exports already underway to Europe and the United States, our Fasa, GMP, and Kosher certifications ensure food quality and safety, supported by a production process that guarantees freshness and consistency in each batch.”
A distinguishing factor of Banaplus banana flour is that it retains all the nutritional properties of green bananas, such as being gluten-free and having a high resistant starch content, making it a superfood and positioning it as an ideal option for health-conscious consumers and athletes seeking effective energy recovery. “With BANAVITAL, we celebrate the cultural and banana heritage of our region, promoting nutrition and economic and social development in Magdalena,” concluded Luis Alfonso Rocha Gutiérrez, Plant Manager of Banaplus.
