On August 17, 2007, hurricane Dean struck the Windward Islands causing significant damage to banana fields. Dominica and St. Lucia were hardest hit, with St. Vincent sustaining minor damage.
A more detailed assessment indicated that the overall damage to banana fields in St. Lucia was not as extensive as originally feared, and WIBDECO is pleased that it will continue its weekly shipment of bananas from the Windward Islands to its customers in the United Kingdom.
WIBDECO is also pleased to announce a support package, totaling EC$4.0 million, aimed at assisting banana farmers in the rehabilitation of their banana farms.
