Who We Are
A family company built on highland fruit
Banexco Traders Inc. is a family-owned exporter based in Davao City, the heart of the Philippine banana industry. We have shipped Cavendish bananas to Japan, China, and the Middle East since 2008 — first as Sucrex Marketing Corporation, and since 2015 as Banexco Traders Inc.
We specialize in one thing: bananas grown at elevation. Our fruit comes from around 220 contracted hectares of highland and super-highland farms in Tamayong and Calinan, Davao City. Cooler mountain air slows the fruit's growth, and slower growth builds more sugar. That is the highland difference.
Why Buyers Choose Us
Consistent Weekly Supply
Programmed harvests across 220 contracted hectares keep our buyers' programs supplied every week of the year.
The Highland Advantage
Highland fruit measures 20–26° Brix against 15–19° for lowland fruit.¹ Sweeter fruit, denser pulp, steadier eating quality.
Strict Quality Control
Inspection at the plant stand, the packinghouse, the cold storage, and the container — with residue compliance for Japan, China, and the Gulf.
Trusted Since 2008
Buyers in our first market, Japan, still buy from us today. Long relationships are our best reference.
