Latin American unions write to major retailers to express concern about Rainforest Alliance certification

Latin American unions write to major retailers to express concern about Rainforest Alliance certification The Coordinating Body of Latin American Banana and Agro-industrial Unions (COLSIBA) has written to seven of the biggest German and UK supermarkets raising concerns about the retailers’ continuing reliance upon Rainforest Alliance certification as a guarantee of ethical standards in their supply chains. COLSIBA represents directly some 75,000 agroindustrial workers across countries of Latin America, most of them working on banana plantations from Peru to Guatemala, and believes that Rainforest certification is insufficient and ineffective at guaranteeing respect for labour rights on certified plantations. Banana Link originally highlighted what they saw as shortcomings in Rainforest certification in their 2016 report Rainforest Alliance and the Discount Supermarkets: Low Prices and Easy Standards? which highlighted evidence of shortcomings in the implementation of respect

Banana Link hits out at banana multinationals after force majeure announcement

Banana Link hits out at banana multinationals after force majeure announcement December 14 , 2020 U.K.-based non-profit Banana Link has hit out at multinational fruit producers Fresh Del Monte and Dole Food after they announced they would begin imposing a ‘force majeure’ surcharge on all their North American contracts. Del Monte will be placing a US$2 surcharge per box while Dole will be charging an extra $1.76, a decision that Banana Link said made sense given the losses suffered by both companies in Guatemala and Honduras as a result of the hurricanes in November - Eta and Iota. However, Banana Link said it was frustration with the companies for signing contracts with big European retailers, which reportedly impose unsustainably low prices, even as they raised the prices for their main banana market.
