Bananas for Germany

Volker Ribniger from the Westphalian city of Hamm is a pioneer of the organic cultivation of bananas in Costa Rica.



He runs a plantation at the border river to Panama, close to the Bribri site in the region of Talamanca. There he grows around 250,000 perennials on 130 hectares. Ribniger harvests around 300,000 crates of bananas of 20 kg each on a yearly basis.

These are exported exclusively to Germany.

The movie (In German) was created in February 2015 during a visit to the company's Plantanera Rio Sixaola.
