MONTREAL, QC - Equifruit, North America’s market leader in Fairtrade-certified bananas, is heading back to SEPC’s Southern Exposure 2026 and celebrating twenty years of Banana Badassery. To mark this milestone of impact for banana farmers, Equifruit is inviting attendees to stop by booth #500 and unleash their inner Banana Badass.
Since 2006, Equifruit, a women-owned B Corp with a 100% Fairtrade promise, has been on a mission to improve the lives and communities of banana farmers and workers. For retailers and consumers, choosing Equifruit Fairtrade bananas means choosing fairer pay and safer working conditions for banana farmers, as well as an additional Fairtrade Premium that goes directly to farmers to invest in their business and community. To date, Equifruit has generated more than $5.5 million US in Fairtrade Premiums paid to growers.
This year, Equifruit is returning to SEPC Southern Exposure with significant momentum in the North American market. Since last year’s show, Equifruit has continued to grow its footprint with new partnerships, most recently in Western Canada, widening access to Fairtrade organic bananas in North America. With growing consumer demand for ethically sourced produce, Equifruit is coming to Southern Exposure ready to talk about how switching to a Fairtrade banana program benefits retailers, shoppers and banana farming communities.
“We’re declaring 2026 officially the Year of the Banana Badass”, said Kim Chackal, VP of Sales and Marketing and Co-owner of Equifruit, in a press release. “For twenty years, Equifruit has been challenging the status quo in the banana industry, and we’re just getting started. If you’re Banana Badass-curious, swing by our booth and let’s talk about why it’s time to switch to Equifruit.”
