BanaBay to use PMA as a springboard to US market

BanaBay offers conventional, organic and organic Fairtrade bananas, pineapples, and plantains with customized and flexible packaging options.

The team from BanaBay, Peter, Mark, Anna, Tom and Megan.

For Tom Burke, President of BanaBay’s North America Operations, PMA is where he was first introduced to BanaBay. He says:

“BanaBay is an exciting new brand in the global fresh fruit marketplace. Our objective is to capitalize on the success story of BanaBay within the North America marketplace and continue to provide reliable, flexible and cost-effective solutions to our valued customer base.

“We launched the BanaBay brand in February and by May we delivered our first shipment of bananas to the US. The US market is particularly enthusiastic about exceptional quality and ethically produced fruit so having the organic and Fairtrade accredited bananas has helped drive interest in BanaBay.

“As growers we can also provide a highly flexible and responsive service to our customers with the capability to quickly turn around requests such as the introduction of banana singles for deli take out and the design of a 3lb bag.”

With aggressive plans to grow both US and Canada, the North America region is a significant focus for BanaBay.
