cn reported: Recently, banana growers in Ecuador have been seriously threatened by " Fusarium "
.
"Fusarium" is considered to be a banana plague.
If a banana tree is infected with this disease, there is no cure
.
And there is currently no good prevention and control measures
.
The banana industry is one of the most important economic industries in Ecuador
.
According to data from the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE), the overseas sales of the banana industry exceeded US$3.
669 billion in 2020, accounting for 24.
5% of total non-oil exports
.
However, the importance of bananas is not only in international exports, but also closely related to many other sectors, such as input suppliers, transportation companies, service logistics, exporters, customs, and certification services

.
The government has delegated the responsibility of protecting the country from this plague to the COE (Committee of Emergency Operations), because the arrival of the plague will have a significant impact on Ecuador’s economy
.
Among them, banana packaging boxes account for 90% of the cardboard industry’s turnover; banana industry inputs account for 50% of the input industry’s sales; in the logistics field, bananas also produce more than 6,700 ground goods every week, which leads to the development of animal transportation.

.
According to data from the Marketing and Export Association, the banana industry has also created 275,000 direct and indirect jobs and tax revenues of US$340 million
.
.
In Ecuador, only 13% of Musaceae production areas have complete infrastructure related to biosecurity measures against Fusarium race 4
.
In other words, of the 350,000 hectares of banana plantation in the country, only about 45,000 hectares have cleaning stations, waste collection areas and regular fumigation
.
On the other hand, only 22% of them comply with some biosafety protection measures

The Banana Organization, composed of five banana production and export organizations in Ecuador, pointed out that these figures are worrying and may actually be underestimated
.
.
A small farmer JoNathan Ortiz realized that this pest is more dangerous and destructive than banana black leaf disease, because despite the death of the crop, the pathogen can survive and spread to neighboring plantations
.
.
Ortiz stated that he intends to fence the farm and build a foot disinfection area (foot bath)
.
The investment in this facility is US$9,000, which was originally scheduled for the end of 2019, but there is not enough funding
.
Now he is eager to get a loan to complete this facility

A few kilometers from this farm is Alexander Mejía’s farm, a medium-sized banana producer with 23 hectares of land
.
Unlike Ortiz, this banana farm stopped taking action against Fusarium

Mejía said that until January last year, he was spraying quaternary ammonium salts on vehicles and people entering the farm

And the monthly cost is nearly 300 US dollars

But when they stopped paying the official price of the box, the situation became complicated, and the cost of supplies and fuel rose, causing them to pay more and more expensive supplies, and could not continue to pay for additional fusarium protection costs
.
.
The local government of Ecuador maintains the process of dissemination and monitoring of the implementation of biosafety measures, and conducts on-site monitoring to discover any news about harmful organisms
.
.
At the same time, risks began to spread
.
In April last year, the plague was found in Piura, northern Peru

Since July, MAG has established four technical solutions to solve the problem of Fusarium race 4, and plans to develop an emergency plan before the end of August to prevent the introduction of the bacteria
.
One of the technical solutions is about financing, which is used to clarify the credit line and financial incentives for equipping the farm with protective measures
