Top bananas in sustainable banana business

Banana producers are facing some problems. Production, profits and market access are highly concentrated. The conditions and prices prioritize the cheapest production possible, even when this violates labour rights or is environmentally destructive.

17,500 Duplicates

We offer at our trade lists more than 17,500 different banana labels. 72 collectors from all over the world show what they have and like to get wonderful labels in exchange. This is the largest stock of labels ever. You can find here everything. Even a BAVEA or a blue ALONSO was seen for a short moment in one of the trade lists.

Feedback to our Catalog

In this article we collect some quotes and reactions we have found at FB or WhatsApp. This positiv words help us in building up the catalog. We enjoy this feedback very much of course. I want to highlight, that in the mean time, the catalog is updated by many, many collectors and what we build up here, is the result of our common work.

The Catalog needs Cooperation

In the last 5 years we have added 22,719 labels to the catalog. We merged all known collections into this catalog and added all new labels issued during this time. 61% of this work was done by me, 25% by Peter and then Nico is following by 5%. That means 91% of this task was done by only three collectors.

The Catalog Cost Money Each Month

We are talking now many month about how to share the cost and how to keep the catalog up to date. I have many positive reactions about the catalog and many collectors are adding their labels and trade. But there are so far only 4 collectors who help in the cost and there is still a financial gap of 520€ each year.
