15th China-Latin America Entrepreneurs Summit took place this week

Association of Banana Exporters of Ecuador sees a lot of potential in Asia

Last Wednesday, China’s president Xi Jinping addressed the 15th China-Latin America Entrepreneurs Summit. In his speech, he called on business communities of China and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to seek shared development in a bid to make new and greater contributions to promoting the building of the China-LAC community.

More than 600 representatives from Chinese and LAC government departments, business circles, trade promotion agencies and think tanks participated in the meeting online and on-site, according to media reports. Many LAC firms are eyeing more opportunities in the Chinese market amid closer ties.

José Antonio Hidalgo, executive director of the Association of Banana Exporters of Ecuador (AEBE) said at the summit: "We see that our bananas, due to their quality and durability, have a lot of potential in Asia. This is why our focus has been to see China as a market to be [explored] by increasing exports. It has a population that demands and consumes high-quality fruit."

Countries like Chile have gained a lot of market share in China, while Ecuador has only 1 percent in terms of fruit market share, Hidalgo said, indicating the great potential that Ecuadorian fruit exporters can look into in China.
