Daabon produces certified sustainable, fair trade and organic fresh produce.
Organic Mountain
The breeze and sun from the Caribbean Sea, the clear snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the mineral-rich soil make Santa Marta an ideal natural environment for organic banana cultivation.
In addition, this area is not prone to disease and is not subject to typhoons, even on the Caribbean coast, which is another reason why it is suitable for organic banana cultivation. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night here is 15 degrees Celsius, so the bananas grow slowly and have a unique sweetness and texture.

Producer
Daabon Group's banana cultivation dates back to 1914, when the first generation opened the first plantation. Since the 1990s, La Samaria has been expanding its plantations and has embarked on full-scale organic banana production and export, with a total of 800 hectares of organic and fair trade bananas grown on its five plantations in 2008, and an annual production volume of 30,000 tons. In addition to Santa Marta's favorable natural environment, La Samaria's production techniques meet the taste and quality requirements of markets around the world.
Fair trade
FLOTRABAN is an organization formed by the workers at La Samaria. Under the current BIOTROPICO fair trade standard, a premium per banana box is paid by consumers to this organization.
In the case of Daabon bananas, FLOTRABAN receives and operates the premium. The use of the premium is decided at a general meeting, and in 2007 it was used to build a community water treatment facility, install an electricity substation, and develop computer classrooms for schools in cooperation with the local government.
