Revisar las normativas y condiciones de pallets que exige el país de destino previo a exportación de banana.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to establish the main causes of contamination of pallets used for the exportation of bananas to the United States market, which applies demanding regulations on health and pest control that can affect the health of consumers, which entails as a consequence the reimportation of banana containers generating delays and losses for Ecuadorian exporters. Must be said that corrective and control measures must be taken in the authorized paleteras and in the collection centers used for the storage of packaging and products, implementing quality technical reviews that guarantee the international commercialization of Ecuadorian bananas. On the other hand, producers and marketers of pallets must continue to produce in accordance with international standard NINF 15, established by FAO. We must bear in mind that the competition today is continuous, and that the acquisition of new and innovative knowledge will help to care for the environment and that generate sources of employment for the local sector.
