A word from the President

While the world is going through a phase of political and economic instability of rare intensity, Africa and Europe are natural partners who count on each other to create sustainable and beneficial growth for all. Today, the European Union is Africa's main trading partner, accounting for 30% of its trade. That gives Europe an important responsibility as a partner in the development of the African continent.

Agriculture is a forward-looking sector in Africa, and should be a priority for European investment on the continent. Through the banana sector, Afruibana is leading the fight for the whole continent for competitive and sustainable agriculture, job creation and the integration of young people into economic and social life.

Our actions

Promote the development of trade relations between Africa and the European Union through the export of African fruits to the European Union.
Act as an interface between the producers of the sector and the various European institutions in order to facilitate the financing and aid programs for the African fruit producers.
Ensure the quality and sustainability of agro-industrial value chains in Africa economically, socially and environmentally.

Our goals

Stabilizing the tariff regime applied to imports of bananas and no longer accepting the progressive reduction of customs duty below €75 per ton for the benefit of ACP countries.
Beyond 2019, maintaining the stabilization mechanism which allows a suspension of preferential treatment, in the event of a sharp increase in imports of bananas from Central American countries beyond of a certain threshold.
Extending beyond the Banana Accompanying Measures (BAM) the financing of support programs for the banana sector aiming at improving its competitiveness and sustainability.
