The WBF reviews the developments in the banana sector. It organizes debates and joint activities to address the challenges facing the sector. Its Working Groups identify and analyze best practices, test them through pilot projects and produce recommendations, guidance documents, and a best practices library open to everyone.
These are the expected outputs of the WBF:
1. The environmental impact of banana production and trade activities has been analyzed and practical solutions to address it have been discussed, proposed and promoted.
2. Mechanisms to ensure a fairer distribution of the value along the banana supply chain have been discussed and suggested.
3. The respect of labour rights, gender equity and occupational health and safety (OHS) in banana plantations has been assessed and specific proposals to promote it have been developed.
4. The WBF has adopted a stable structure and it continues to develop in the future.
5. Consumers understand the importance of purchasing sustainably-grown bananas.
