where bananas continue to be a major export despite the preference erosion in the
European Union (EU) market, thanks to the strong focus on organic and fair trade
bananas. Nevertheless, following a period of dynamic growth from 2000 to 2011, in
2012 Dominican banana exports declined by 2.2 percent to 297 000 tonnes. Other
Caribbean countries have maintained very low volumes of exports, continuing the
declining trend of recent years. Jamaica’s exports have virtually disappeared since
2008, and all production is now directed to the domestic market. Exports from other
Caribbean countries excluding Dominican Republic have also registered a steady
decline as a result of a combination of preference erosion on exports to the EU and
climatic disasters that have severely undermined production. The combined exports
from the Caribbean other than Dominican Republic plummeted from 88 000 tonnes
in 2009 to 21 000 tonnes in 2011. In 2012 a slight recovery is estimated to take place,
reflecting primarily an expansion in exports from Saint Lucia from 6 200 tonnes to
12 100 tonnes.
