Pacific Coast Eco Bananas
Pacific Coast Eco Bananas have been a supporter of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation since 2006.
Started by Frank and Dianne Sciacca in July 2003, Pacific Coast Eco Bananas produce Eco Bananas using an ecologically sensitive farming system. Easily recognisable in stores by their wax tips eco bananas are a better tasting banana with a longer shelf life. The Great Barrier Reef also benefits because the Eco Growing Protocol means no insecticides, nematicides or miticides are used and only minimal fertiliser is applied. This significantly reduces the run off of agrichemicals and synthetic fertilisers which drain onto the Reef. To learn more about Eco Bananas visit http://www.eco-banana.com.au/.
