In 2023, India had the largest share of global banana losses, with substantial growth expected due to a 0.16% increase that year. Despite a significant drop in banana losses by China and Brazil, both countries still contribute prominently to global figures. Guatemala, Angola, Tanzania, and Indonesia showed notable increases, indicating potential upward loss trends. Conversely, Kenya, Rwanda, and Thailand posted declines, possibly reflecting improvements in post-harvest practices or yield efficiency.
Looking ahead, the industry should monitor countries with rising banana production yet moderate loss efficiencies like India. Regions exhibiting recent loss increases might implement innovative supply chain solutions to minimize wastage further.
