The president of the Regional Government, Miguel Albuquerque, has inaugurated a new banana processing center, located in São Martinho. It was an investment that amounts to 14.1 million euros.
Industry experts consider the new São Martinho Banana Processing Center to correspond to a market imperative, particularly with regard to quality and the fundamental increase in processing capacity under required certification conditions. The unit, which was implemented in an area of 6,000 m2, next to the Mercado Abastecedor do Funchal, has the capacity to process 100 tons of bananas per day, and has six processing lines, five conventional and one organic.
