Banana Accompanying Measures (BAM) for Ghana
The BAM funding was part of the 2009 Geneva Agreement on Trade in Bananas, with which the European Union concluded a deal with Latin American countries and the US, settling 15 years of banana disputes. The agreement implies cuts in the EU-tariff for bananas imported from Latin American countries, increasing competition for African and Caribbean banana exporting countries. BAM supports these African and Caribbean countries in remaining competitive.
