Citronex - Bananas

Bananas

We are one of the largest importers of bananas in Poland, which we import mainly from Ecuador, Colombia and Nicaragua. Every week a new supply of fresh fruits goes to our modern ripening mills located in Zgorzelec, Pruszcz Gdański and Romanian Timisoara. We have the largest number of ripening chambers in Europe, thanks to which approximately 340 thousand Yellow banana cartons reach hypermarket and supermarket chains in Poland and abroad every week. At every stage, qualified employees ensure that Yellow bananas are distinguished not only by their delicious taste, but also by the highest quality.

that they would keep their freshness after reaching Europe.
