Bananas under threat as rising temperatures killing crops: Christian Aid
- Christian Aid released a report on Monday showing that rising temperatures and extreme weather are damaging banana crops in Latin America and the Caribbean.
- This region, responsible for about 80% of global banana exports, faces shrinking suitable growing areas due to climate change and water shortages.
- The report highlights threats from climate-related pests like fusarium tropical race 4, which are causing entire farms to fail, affecting farmers' incomes.
- Banana grower Aurelia Pop Xo from Guatemala stated, "Climate change has been killing our crops," leading to no income as her plantation is dying.
- Christian Aid urges developed nations to cut carbon emissions urgently and calls on governments and consumers to support Fairtrade-certified bananas to sustain farmers.
