Banana: is the most consumed tropical fruit in the world thanks to its sweet, intense and profound taste 
It is known as the Paradisiacal Muse, because it has: Vitamin A, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Ascorbic acid, Pyridoxine and Minerals such as: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Manganese, Cobber, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphor, Sulfur, Iodine, Zinc and Chlorine. The clime of Ecuador benefits the production of the fruit.
HDINEAGROS S.A. commercializes bananas in two kinds of boxes: first quality and of recuperation | First Quality Boxes | | Variety: | Cavendish | | Net weight: | 43 Lb.

HDINEAGROS S.A. commercializes bananas to the local exporters such as: BONANZA FRUIT CO., BANANAS EXCHANGE, FORZAFRUT S.A. and ISBELNI, whom distribute the fruit to the European, American, Russian, Chilean, Argentinean market, among others. Annually, Ecuador exports approximately 245 millions of boxes with bananas. HDINEAGROS S.A. will contribute in 2007 with around 0.18% of it (455.000 boxes of bananas). Guadua Cane: Starting in 2006, HDINEAGROS S.A. began the 250 hectares (has). sow project of guadua cane, from which 245 (has) are from Brave Cane (Angustifolia Kunt Guadua), and 5 (has) of Giant Bamboo (Dendrocalamus), in the Hacienda “Rio Siete”, located in the Ponce Enriquez canton. These varieties differ by its longitude, durability, time maturity, wood production by hectare and applicability. The Angustifolia Kunt Guadua and Dendrocalamus contribute to the socio-cultural, environmental and economical development. Socio-Cultural Development The way that the guadua has penetrated direct or indirectly in almost every sphere of the regional life, deserves attention and the right treatment to guarantee its permanence in the long term. The physical-mechanical properties of the guadua make its shaft have several uses. The inhabitants of the coast and orient zones use it especially for housing, kitchen utensils, musical instruments, bridges, canals, aqueducts, pitches, etc. Environmental Development. The Guadua and Giant Bamboo are native forestall speciesthat when are used in the construction and industry, represents a valuable economical alternative and cooperates to mitigate the campsite social problems. The investment made in the maintenance and annual handle means the 25% and 30% of the profits achieved when harvest a guadua camp. The sow of the guadua avoids the ground erosion. It is considered as a water storage pump, which functionality is the principle of “Communicant Glasses”. According to studies it has been established that one hectare of guadua can storage up to 30 375 liters of water. The guadua camps propitiate the existence and sustainability of flora and fauna. The growth of the guadua allows biomass contribution to enrich and better the structure and texture of the ground. The annual contribution of general biomass of a guadua camp in plain development oscillates from 30 and 35 tons per hectare per year. Its integral application in the housing construction benefits the thermal and acoustical regulations.
Economical Development The Guadua and Giant Bamboo are native forestall species that when are used in the construction and industry, represents a valuable economical alternative and cooperates to mitigate the campsite social problems. The investment made in the maintenance and annual handle means the 25% and 30% of the profits achieved when harvest a guadua camp. |
