# Translation The Association of Banana Growers of Magdalena and La Guajira (Asbama) rejected the proposal by President Gustavo Petro to promote a pact to reduce banana production in the Caribbean region with the aim of allocating more drinking water to communities. This is because Petro proposed this week a pact to reduce banana production in the Caribbean region, especially in the Magdalena area, as a mechanism to allocate more drinking water to the population and not so much to the export business. When speaking at the 'Social Dialogue with Fishermen and Productive Communities' event, held in the city of Ciénaga, the president assured that in the banana region "there are too many banana plantations" and that for this reason "that plantation must be reduced, that volume of bananas, in such a way that water flows here (Ciénaga), for human service, because the priority is the human being, after business," he assured.
