A History Built on Hard Work and Commitment

Celebrating 48 years represents much more than a milestone; it is the result of the continuous effort of generations of employees, growers, and strategic partners who have contributed to the development of our organization. Since our beginnings, Coliman Bananas has remained firmly committed to quality, efficiency, and respect for people and the environment.

Over the years, we have evolved by incorporating improved agricultural practices, technology, and packing processes that allow us to guarantee fresh, safe bananas that meet the highest standards for our customers and consumers.

Our Bananas: Quality Cultivated Every Day

Coliman bananas reflect the care and dedication invested in every stage of production, from the field to the table. Each fruit goes through rigorous production, harvesting, selection, and packing processes to ensure outstanding flavor, freshness, and quality.

Our commitment goes beyond producing bananas; we strive to provide confidence and satisfaction with every shipment. Thanks to our farms, specialized teams, and efficient operational processes, we are able to maintain a sustainable and reliable operation that meets the demands of both national and international markets.

Innovation and Sustainability

At AGGALL Business Group, we understand that the future of agriculture depends on innovation and sustainability. That is why we continuously work on initiatives aimed at improving productivity, optimizing resources, and strengthening environmentally and socially responsible practices within the communities where we operate.

We strongly believe in the development of our people, teamwork, and continuous improvement as the foundation for continued growth.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

This 48th anniversary is also an opportunity to thank our employees, customers, suppliers, and business partners for being part of this journey. Their trust has been essential to our continued growth and to strengthening our vision for the future.

We will continue working with the same passion and commitment that have defined us throughout these years, bringing the quality of our bananas even further around the world.

48 years cultivating quality, trust, and future.

The new ripening Distribution Center is equipped to carry out specialized processes that allow precise control at every stage of ripening, ensuring that the fruit reaches the optimal point of color, flavor, and texture. With this infrastructure, Colimed will be able to offer the market fresh, consistent, and high-quality products, aligned with the standards that distinguish Coliman Bananas at both national and international levels.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by Teresa Castillo, General Director of Medfrut, and Jorge Aguilar, General Director of Coliman Bananas, symbolizing the formal launch of this partnership, which represents a key step in the expansion and strengthening of the logistics and commercial networks of both organizations.

Within this partnership, Coliman Bananas contributes its productive expertise, experience, and product quality—built over years of work in the field and across the supply chain—while Medfrut brings its extensive knowledge of the regional market and strong logistical capabilities. Together, this synergy enables the efficient and timely fulfillment of the needs of the Chihuahua market.

The main objective of this alliance is to deliver the freshness, quality, and reliability of Coliman Bananas’ bananas and papayas to the tables of final consumers throughout the state of Chihuahua. This project responds to a need identified through an in-depth analysis of the regional market, which revealed the lack of a solid, specialized, and reliable option for supplying these fruits, ensuring continuity, service, and strong customer support.

The inauguration was attended by collaborators from Coliman Bananas and Medfrut, as well as partners, friends, and family members of the shareholders, in a symbolic event that reflects not only business growth, but also the bonds of collaboration, trust, and friendship built over years of working together—now solidified with the start of Colimed’s operations in Chihuahua.

Each altar told a story with love. Surrounded by lit candles, the scents of pan de muerto and cempasúchil, and photos that evoked memories, each space reflected the creativity, affection, and connection of our teams to this tradition that unites us as Mexicans.

Beyond the contest, we experienced a moment of unity, pride, and gratitude. We came together as the Coliman family to honor life, memory, and the roots that inspire us to grow together.

💛🕯️We invite you to experience this beautiful tradition through our photo and video gallery. Each image tells a story, and each smile celebrates life.

During the event, we connected with customers, suppliers, and new strategic partners. We shared our vision of responsible business and strengthened the ties that drive growth in the agricultural sector.

Our booth in Hall D (#357) became a meeting point where we showcased the quality of our bananas, the work of our people, and the initiatives that drive our purpose: feeding the world with well-being-generating products.

We thank everyone who stopped by, shared ideas and projects, and expressed enthusiasm. We left with valuable insights and new opportunities to continue growing sustainably and collaboratively.

At Coliman Bananas – AGGALL Group, we believe that every encounter counts, and together, we can build a more prosperous future for the countryside, communities, and the planet.

These publications highlight our strategic focus on global growth driven by sustainability, innovation, and quality, as well as our pride in being a 100% Mexican company that continues to strengthen its international presence. We have achieved part of this strengthening through strategic alliances with Ecuador and a closer approach to the Asian market—key regions for the future of the brand.

This recognition reaffirms Coliman Bananas’ commitment to sustainable development, the well-being of the communities where we operate, and building strong business relationships based on trust and product quality.

Armed with these achievements, we are arriving at the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show 2025 with great enthusiasm, reaffirming our vision to continue growing with purpose and expanding the reach of Coliman bananas around the world.

What is AHIFORES?

AHIFORES is a national alliance of producers, exporters, civil society organizations, and academics whose objective is to promote social responsibility in Mexico’s agricultural sector. Since its founding in 2015, AHIFORES has promoted good labor practices, decent working conditions, and compliance with national and international standards on human rights, health, and the environment.

We are proud to have been part of this collaborative network for seven years. As an associated company, we constantly work to implement and strengthen responsible practices in all our processes, from cultivation to marketing. This includes actions such as:

• Guaranteeing decent and safe working conditions for our employees.

• Promoting equity, inclusion, and respect in each of our operating units.

• Promoting the continuous training and comprehensive development of our teams.

• Maintaining high environmental sustainability standards in our operations.

Additionally, we actively participate in initiatives, forums, and training sessions organized by AHIFORES. We learn from other experiences, share our own practices, and always seek to improve.

We believe the success of the Mexican agri-food sector should be measured not only by the tons of produce exported, but also by the positive impact we have on the lives of the people who make each harvest possible. That is why building alliances, such as the one with AHIFORES, is essential to promoting well-being, respect, and social responsibility in rural communities.

The summit brought together key customers and producers from around the world to exchange experiences, strengthen alliances, and promote the sustainable growth of the global banana industry.

Pablo Vega, Coliman Bananas’ Supply & Agricultural Operations Director, represented the company at the event. He participated in various networking and collaboration activities, sharing Coliman’s experience in organic banana production in Mexico.

Goodfarmer’s invitation for Coliman Bananas to represent Mexican organic production at the event is recognition of the quality, traceability, and commitment to sustainability that distinguish our work.

We continue to build bridges with international partners to bring the best of the Mexican countryside to tables around the world.
