Andean countries support a global alliance against Fusarium TR4
The Inter-American Institute of Cooperation for Agriculture (IICA) stated that the Ministers and high Agriculture authorities of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru had endorsed the efforts carried out by the Global Alliance against
Fusarium TR4 to coordinate regional actions to combat and prevent this pest.
This incurable disease threatens global banana production and the food and nutritional security of millions of families, especially those people that depend on this crop in Latin America and the Caribbean.
“
Fusarium TR4 is the greatest threat to the banana industry, a highly commercially valuable crop and a vital food source for more than 400 million people in the world. The strength of the alliance is that it combines the efforts of the academia, the private sector, and research organizations to fight this disease,” stated the Director-General of IICA, Manuel Otero.
