    BINGO BPA: THE RESPONSIBLE GROWER’S BINGO

    With the goal of strengthening knowledge of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), División Exportadora developed Bingo BPA, an initiative that transformed traditional training into a dynamic and interactive experience designed to make learning different and more engaging.

    By using bingo as a learning tool, our certified producers reinforced key concepts related to GAP, farm safety, and continuous improvement, demonstrating that learning can also be an enjoyable experience. The prizes awarded during the activity included personal protective equipment and safety kits to support their agricultural work, providing valuable tools for their daily activities on the farm.

    We would like to thank Global Fresh Trading for their support and commitment to this initiative.

    At Palmar, we continue promoting innovative initiatives that strengthen our producers’ knowledge and contribute to the development of safer and more sustainable agriculture.

    30 YEARS EXPORTING QUALITY BANANAS TO THE WORLD

    30 YEARS EXPORTING QUALITY BANANAS TO THE WORLD

    From: Mr. Euclides Palacios
    To: Customers, growers, employees, and partners

    Thirty years ago, we took our first step into the world without knowing all that the future had in store. Since then, this story has continued to grow thanks to every person who has been part of this journey.

    Today, more than simply celebrating an anniversary, I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who have made every achievement, every milestone, and every goal reached throughout these three decades possible.

    With the faith that has always guided our path, we continue moving forward with the same commitment that has accompanied us since 1996—proudly sharing the dedication of our people and the value of our production chain with the world.

    I have always believed that one person alone cannot accomplish great things. Our story has been built through the hard work, trust, and commitment of every employee, grower, customer, and partner who believed in this dream and walked alongside us.

    Thank you for being part of this story and for everything that, with the blessing of the Virgin of Chilla, we still have ahead of us to build together.
