AgroAmerica is one of the largest growers, shippers and distributors of fresh fruit with operations in Central America, Peru and Ecuador. Founded in 1958, it is managed vertically, which allows clear lines of command and strict control which leads to high efficiency in its operations.

Sol79 banana purée is made solely from ripe bananas, grown sustainably by us in our plantations in Guatemala. In 2016, AgroAmerica launched the Sol79 banana purée brand, to meet the needs of its clients and consumers.
We provide a natural product, without additives, but with all the nutritional properties that contribute to a healthier diet while enhancing the food and nutritional security of consumers. With this new product, AgroAmerica also prevents waste in its plantations, keeping food from going to waste in the world.
We are proud to be among the best banana producers in the world.
Sol 79 is the perfect description for our delicious bananas, harvested under strict environmental, labor and social standards.
