At the 2025 edition of Banana Time Machala, Palmar participated with a BTL activation that attracted numerous visitors who took the opportunity to take photos and leave positive messages for our corporation in celebration of 29 years exporting highquality bananas to the world.
During the event, our executives also held meetings with allied producers, strengthening commercial ties and reaffirming mutual commitments.
Additionally, we used the fair as the stage to launch our new digital segment: “Pin Pon Bananero”, this new segment was designed to foster authentic and close connections with both producers and visitors.
