Abstract

BORJA, Juan. La producción de banano bajo el sistema de comercio justo: un análisis del caso ecuatoriano. Siembra [online]. 2016, vol.3, n.1, pp.7-10. ISSN 2477-8850.  https://doi.org/10.29166/siembra.v3i1.185.

This work analyzes banana fair-trade in Ecuador. By means of this system, organized small-scale farmers were able to improve their earning compared to those involved in traditional trade. Additionally, fair-trade is also associated with a reduction in the application of inputs and the use of cleaner technologies which have a lower environmental impact. The potential and limitations of the fair-trade system is also discussed throughout the text.

Keywords : fair-trade; unbalanced exchange; international trade; banana; Ecuador.
