In 2023, India experienced the highest banana losses at 6.21 million metric tons, with a modest increase of 0.16% from the previous year. Significant decreases were observed in China and Brazil, with reductions of 0.4% and 0.42%, respectively. Rapid increases are evident in some smaller countries such as Laos (3.07%) and Iraq (3.6%). Cumulatively, banana losses have shown inconsistency, with varied annual growth rates across different countries.
Looking forward, the focus will be on the actions taken to curb losses in leading countries like India and harness the potential in emerging markets such as Laos and Iraq, as well as addressing the declines in traditionally strong producers like China and Brazil.
