This performance illustrates the surge in Guatemalan banana volumes sold on the world market, up from approximately 1.5 million tonnes in the late 2000s to the record level of 2.2 million tonnes in 2015. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Guatemalan cultivation area expanded by more than 7 500 ha between 2010 and 2014, in zones where extremely favourable pedoclimatic conditions enable record yields to be achieved. The US market remains practically the sole outlet for Guatemalan banana exports (nearly 90 % in 2015).
