  • 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.
