The Del Monte subsidiary, Banapiña SA, hired the first 54 workers during the first part of May. They have begun planting the banana pups to start growing for future harvest.This is a major step in the reactivation of the banana industry in Puerto Armuelles, Baru, in the province of Chiriqui.
These initial employees will be working at the Renacimiento farm, where they have already started sowing the first several hectares which they hope to harvest this year. President Juan Carlos Varela came to Puerto to tour the first farm. After much negotiation, it was quite an achievement for Panama to finally reach an agreement with Del Monte and for Baru to get the banana industry back. When Chiquita pulled out in 2003, the town was devastated. 现在整个地区都有希望,Puerto Armuelles将再次成为一个蓬勃发展的海滨小镇,,en,Chiricanos被雇用为第一香蕉种植工作,,es,pic.twitter.com/uvikwAl0Ij,,en, - SCE,,it,@SeCPanama,,ro,照片由巴拿马共和国政府提供,,es,了解更多关于香蕉复兴对Puerto Armuelles意味着什么,,en,香蕉复兴前进,,en!
