At Coliman Bananas, we firmly believe that agricultural development must go hand in hand with respect for human rights, worker welfare, and environmental stewardship. That is why we are part of AHIFORES (the International Fruit and Vegetable Alliance for the Promotion of Social Responsibility), an organization that, like us, strives for a fairer, more humane, and more sustainable fruit and vegetable industry.

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.

In 2025, we held the third annual Don Jorge Aguilar Heredia Award. This award honors the memory and legacy of our founder while recognizing individuals within our organization who embody our core values: honesty, respect, reliability, and humanism.

As in previous years, our employees actively participated in the voting process, selecting the individual who consistently inspires others with their commitment to building a better working and human environment.

This year’s winner was Audee Ríos Canobbio, an exceptional employee recognized for her integrity, her close relationships with her colleagues, and her unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. Audee embodies the spirit of Don Jorge: a leader with strong values and a genuine commitment to the greater good.

Through this award, we reaffirm that at Coliman Bananas – AGGALL Group, our values are lived, not just stated. We congratulate Audee and thank all the employees who participated in this heartfelt initiative.

At Coliman Bananas, we understand that each stage of ripeness offers unique health benefits. From completely green to peak ripeness, this versatile fruit transforms in both flavor and nutritional value.

Here’s how to get the most out of each stage:

🟢 Green Banana

When a banana is green, it has a higher starch content, making it slower to digest. This allows sugars to be absorbed gradually into the bloodstream, helping to keep glucose levels stable and reduce weight gain. Green bananas are ideal for those looking to control their sugar intake or follow a low-carbohydrate diet.

🟡 Yellow Banana

At this stage of ripeness, the banana has converted much of its starch into natural sugars. This makes it easier to digest without losing essential nutrients. This stage is perfect for those who want a healthy, delicious, quickly absorbed energy option.

🟠 Ripe banana:

When fully ripe, the banana’s texture is softer and its flavor is sweeter. At this stage, the banana is especially beneficial for people with digestive problems because it is easier to digest and can provide quick, natural energy.

One fruit, many benefits!

Each color of banana has something special to offer. Whether you prefer the firm green texture, balanced yellow color, or ripe sweetness, Coliman Bananas invites you to enjoy this incredible fruit at every stage and experience its many health benefits.

🍃💚Add it to your daily diet and discover your favorite!

At Coliman Bananas, we believe in the power of bringing people together for causes that really matter. That’s why we are proud to share with you the great success of the races organized by our Don Jorge Aguilar Heredia Foundation, recently held in Tecomán and Hermosillo on the occasion of its third anniversary.

Both events brought together hundreds of participants – employees, families, athletes and the community in general – who ran not only for health and enjoyment, but also for a good cause: to continue promoting the welfare, health, education and community development programs that the Foundation carries out in different regions of the country.

The Tecomán edition was met with great enthusiasm and energy. From the very beginning, the atmosphere was filled with music, smiles and sportsmanship. Participants enjoyed 3K and 5K runs, with courses designed for all levels. The community responded with massive participation and a spirit that reaffirms our commitment to social welfare.

Hermosillo was not far behind. The race attracted runners of all ages who, as in Tecomán, ran for a cause that leaves its mark. The participation was exemplary, and the event was carried out with joy, safety and camaraderie.

These achievements would not have been possible without the support of the large family of Coliman Bananas, collaborators, volunteers and sponsors who believe in the impact of the Don Jorge Aguilar Heredia Foundation. Every step taken in these races is another step towards stronger, healthier and more united communities.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to those who participated in this special edition and we invite you to continue participating in the activities of our Foundation, because when we run with purpose, we go further.

At Coliman Bananas, we value and celebrate the traditions that are part of our cultural identity. This year, with great enthusiasm, we organized the Altar de Muertos Contest during the month of November, an event that not only honors our deceased loved ones, but also promotes creativity, teamwork and community spirit among our employees.

The main objective of the contest was to keep alive this beautiful Mexican tradition, which is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Employees organized themselves into teams and used their ingenuity and creativity to create unique and meaningful altars. Each altar told a story that reflected the cultural roots and values we share as a Coliman team.

During the event, we were able to admire the care and dedication with which each team recreated the essential elements of a traditional altar: photographs, candles, marigolds, papel picado and ofrendas. Innovative details that highlighted the originality and talent of our collaborators were also included.

The jury, made up of representatives from different areas, had the difficult task of choosing the winners. Taking into account aspects such as creativity, design, respect for tradition and the message conveyed, the winning teams were as follows

First place: Team from Candelaria, Tecomán, Colima.

Second place: Team from Tapachula, Chiapas.

Third place: Tie between the Palenque team and the Logistics team, both in Tecomán, Colima.

These types of activities are essential to strengthen the bonds between our employees and to remember the importance of preserving our traditions. At Coliman Bananas, we are committed not only to excellence in our work, but also to the promotion of cultural values that enrich our community.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this contest a memorable event! Let’s continue to work together to keep our traditions and spirit of unity alive.
