In 2026, Corporación Palmar will mark 50 years since its founding, establishing itself as a family business with extensive experience in producing and exporting bananas from the El Oro province in Ecuador.

The company started operations in 1976 and, two decades later, in 1996, began exporting. Since then, it has consistently maintained a presence in international markets, with a management style centered on continuous improvement and collaboration across different areas.
Currently, the organization includes the second and third generations of the founding family, who have combined the experience passed down from their predecessors with a business outlook focused on efficiency and strengthening its production structure. This generational change has helped sustain the company's stability and improve its position in the Ecuadorian banana industry.

Corporación Palmar has subsidiaries that support its operations, including agricultural production and essential export services. These cover fertilizer manufacturing, packaging, agricultural products, aerial spraying, and logistics, allowing the company to oversee the banana value chain from farm to international shipment.

Throughout its fifty-year history, Palmar has consistently focused on high-quality fruit and responsible process management. The company states that the 2026 anniversary offers an opportunity to celebrate the efforts of multiple generations and reaffirm its commitment to the nation's banana industry.
The company's name, derived from the surnames Palacios and Márquez, emphasizes its family roots and long-standing dedication to the project. Amid ongoing changes and challenges in the global fruit market, Palmar is preparing to mark 50 years of operation, staying true to its original vision of responsibly and reliably producing and exporting Ecuadorian bananas.
