Carnival is an important form of cultural expression for Caribbean people at home and abroad. What better way to illustrate the prospects - and problems - for the future of the Caribbean banana industry and fair trade,
Renwick Rose, Coordinator, Caribbean Farmers' Association.

Working collaboratively with a number of organisations, Banana Link produces a mas’ band and float at a number of carnivals to raise awareness of Caribbean and Fairtrade bananas.

Banana Link has worked with Brighton based events company Positive Productions since 1996 and a number of other organisations including Winds of Change Carnival mas' band in London and Phoenix Carnival Group in Norwich to produce a mas' band and float at Notting Hill Carnival and other events.
