i-banana trader connects buyers and sellers of bananas directly — eliminating inefficient intermediaries, ensuring fair prices for farmers, and building a truly sustainable global supply chain.
Low prices and unfair market practices squeeze banana margins, driving farmers out of business. We built i-banana trader to change that — creating a transparent, direct marketplace where producers are paid fairly.
i-banana trader supplies an intranet trading solution for banana buyers on a global basis — creating a transparent infrastructure where buyers and sellers trade directly with each other.
Our intranet-based system allows supermarket chains, hotels, trading houses, and restaurants to buy bananas directly from producers and processing plants worldwide — rather than through the myriad of intermediaries that dominate the industry today.
Cut out intermediaries and keep more value in the supply chain.
Fair prices to producers while improving buyer economics.
