The empirical method has also been applied: survey to obtain data from the environment where the problem develops; and statistical methods for presentation and interpretation of results. Finally, the main conclusion obtained was that the preparation of the strategic biosafety and export plan contributes to preventing the contamination of Covid-19 in the banana exporters of the El Guabo canton. The main results obtained with the empirical method have verified the proposed scientific hypothesis. The main conclusion was that the preparation of the strategic biosafety and export plan contributes to preventing the contamination of Covid-19 in the banana exporters of the El Guabo canton, being necessary not only the implementation but also the creation of an internal control committee, policies that ensure faithful compliance and responsibility on the part of each actor involved in banana production and export.
