Goals / Remit
The banana sector is organized into associations and cooperatives-based producers, who have a very important role in improving quality, reducing production costs and promoting common services to small and medium producers. Other major producers work under a scheme of agro-industrial companies.
ADOBANANO, acting as a second-tier organization, is an association representing small and medium producers and other large individual producers.
ADOBANANO plays a key role in efforts for dialogue, coordination and advocacy that identify and agree on common actions to address the main technical, economic, social and political challenges of the sector.Main EU files targeted

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
