Meeting Memorandum
On 17 November, banana producers from African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries from Belize, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominican Republic, Ghana and Suriname met with ACP Ambassadors in Brussels to discuss the crucial role of banana production and trade for the ACP region. The Cotonou Agreement is set to expire in 2020 and the European Commission is developing a new policy framework to govern relations with the ACP region. In this scenario, measures are needed right now to ensure that the banana industry continues to play a key role in the development of ACP countries. To this end, the producers set up the Banana for Development Coalition with the aim to work hand in hand with the ACP Working Group on Bananas.
