Fusarium TR4 fungus puts Ecuador on high alert
As the world’s number one banana exporter, Ecuador is on high alert for its vital crop as its neighbor Peru is grappling with an outbreak of a fungus deadly to that particular crop. Ecuador is sandwiched between two South American nations that have a presence of the incurable banana affliction, with the fungus first reaching Colombia in 2019. Ecuador has plantations less than 300 kilometers from the northern Peru region where the fungus was confirmed on April 12.
After confirming with Peru’s government of an outbreak of the Fusarium TR4 fungus, which causes the devastating banana wilt, near its southern border with Peru, Agriculture Minister Xavier Lazo stated that emergency measures were taken.
