Banana production is a profitable activity that provides the country's cities with bananas for consumption, so, despite being a highly demanded product, production is quite difficult, since in the season of heavy rains there are usually large economic losses.
In times of strong summers, the plant suffers serious problems causing it to die many times due to lack of water, but despite the strong circumstances, producers define contingency plans that ensure that their plantations will be able to survive.
Continuing with the topic in context, banana production generates a series of costs, which can be called investment costs, in the production units, including the purchase of inputs, insecticides, payment of workers, loading of trucks, among others. In addition, climatic factors and diseases increase investment costs.
It must be taken into account that when it comes to the sale of this highly demanded product, this is where the questions and calculations are made by the producers, which leads to the conclusion that the price established by the entity in charge of setting the selling price is sometimes not enough to cover the investment made
