GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The 21st edition of “Banana Time,” the largest international convention for the banana industry, opened with Ecuador’s call for unity to tackle global challenges.

The “Banana Time” convention, organized annually in Guayaquil by the Association of Ecuadorian Banana Exporters (AEBE), which represents more than 70% of Ecuador’s total banana export volume, runs from Oct. 23 to 25, featuring conferences, trade exhibits, and a culinary competition.

During the opening ceremony on Tuesday night, AEBE President Jorge Encalada expressed his belief that “the key to overcoming these challenges lies in unity and the joint efforts of all actors in the production chain.”

Ecuador’s banana sector is going through a difficult period, impacted by the country’s energy and security crisis, geopolitical instability, and plant diseases affecting banana crops.

Further complicating the situation are the new sustainability regulations from the European Union (EU), the main market for Ecuadorian bananas, which require producers and exporters to invest in compliance with these standards.

“We will not allow our producers to be treated unfairly. Supermarkets, key players in the supply chain, must commit to not using bananas as a loss leader,” Encalada added.

Compensation demands for producers

Encalada stressed the need for the new market demands imposed on producing countries to be offset by the true cost of sustainability.

He also highlighted the unity achieved in Latin America through the Joint Latin American Task Force, established in 2020, which includes exporter associations from Ecuador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, and Colombia. This alliance works to address the challenges posed by buyer countries.

Ecuador’s flagship product

Ecuador’s Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Danilo Palacios, also attended the inauguration, reaffirming the government’s commitment to achieving full formalization of the sector, as “bananas are the country’s flagship product.”

The banana industry is one of the main drivers of Ecuador’s economy, contributing more than $3.5 billion annually to the gross domestic product (GDP) and generating 250,000 direct jobs.

Resistant starch is a type of dietary fiber, defined as the total amount of starch and the products of starch degradation that resist digestion in the small intestine of a person. Resistant starch is a dietary fiber and can be used to replace digestible starch in foods. In bakery food, it is used to improve the nutritional value of baked goods by reducing starch digestibility. Resistant starch is extracted from various sources such as wheat starch, oats, raw potato starch, legumes, green bananas, high-maize flour, and retrograded starches. Further, resistant starch as a prebiotic dietary helps control the development of obesity. Resistant starch is a potential prebiotic, a nondigestible food ingredient that stimulates the growth and activity of gut microorganisms.
  2. Increasing Focus on Preventive Health: Resistant starch used in dietary supplements creates good bacteria after fermentation in the large intestine. This leads to less constipation, lower cholesterol levels, and lower risk of colon cancer. According to a survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) in 2022, 66% of Americans were concerned about digestive health, with many people seeking foods that can improve gut health. After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sharp rise in the popularity of functional foods and dietary supplements, as people have been prioritizing their health and actively searching for healthy alternatives.
  3. Growing Demand for Resistant Starch: The global food industry is growing tremendously owing to rising population, changing lifestyles, increasing per capita income, and surging demand for convenience food. According to the data published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in 2022, households with the lowest income spent an average of US$ 5,090 on food (representing 31.2% of income), while households with the highest income spent an average of US$ 15,713 on food (representing 8.0% of income) in the US. Further, various food and beverage products are made from clean label ingredients such as resistant starch extracted from banana, potato, grains, and cassava starch. Resistant starch is also used in food and beverages as additives to lower glycemic value and calorific value quality in baked food products, confectioneries, dairy products, thick beverages, savory snacks, sweets, sauces, and mayonnaise.
  4. Geographical Insights: In 2023, Asia Pacific led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and North America. Further, Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

SynFutures Announces Foundation, F Token Airdrop, and Initial Exchange Listings

Published

on

synfutures-announces-foundation,-f-token-airdrop,-and-initial-exchange-listings

The launch of SynFutures Foundation and F signifies SynFutures’ progress toward decentralization, enabling its community to govern the protocol.

HONG KONG, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SynFutures (www.synfutures.com), a leading decentralized exchange for trading any asset with leverage and a full stack financial infrastructure provider, today announced the launch of SynFutures Foundation and the F token airdrop. Crypto exchanges including Bybit, Bitget, Gate.io, and KuCoin have confirmed the listing of the F token upon launch. This marks the beginning of SynFutures decentralizing its ecosystem and transitioning governance power to its community.

SynFutures has become a key player in the onchain derivatives ecosystem since its v3 launch on Base and Blast earlier in 2024. Its v3 protocol, powered by the Oyster AMM, has recorded over $210 billion in trading volume since launch, making it the largest perp DEX on Base and the third largest across all EVM and non-EVM chains.

The launch of SynFutures Foundation and F marks the next step in SynFutures’ successful journey toward creating an open, permissionless, and decentralized financial infrastructure for everyone.

Transitioning power to the community

The SynFutures Foundation, alongside the community, will oversee development, foster partnerships, and drive community-led governance to ensure a truly permissionless financial ecosystem. This includes initiatives such as project collaborations, grants and funding for third-party developers, community initiatives, hackathons, and similar programs.

The F token, based on Ethereum Mainnet, accords the SynFutures community with governance rights while offering benefits such as fee discounts, staking rewards, and future airdrop boosts. With 10 billion tokens allocated strategically across Community, Backers and Advisors, Foundation Treasury, Core Contributors, Protocol Development, and Liquidity, F represents a fair and balanced approach to rewarding early supporters and community members and ensuring sustainable growth.

The project has allocated 28.5% of its total F supply toward the Community. A part of this allocation, equivalent to 7.5% of the total supply, will be distributed as part of the Season 1 Airdrop on December 6, 2024, to reward users who engaged consistently with SynFutures v1 to v3.

SynFutures used various parameters to assess users’ eligibility for the Season 1 airdrop, including trading activities on v1 and v2 and points accumulation through trading on v3. Long-term and active users who have consistently traded on multiple versions of the SynFutures protocol will be eligible for a bonus. Early adopters will also be rewarded with a portion of the airdrop.

Between December 2 to December 5, users can participate in Bybit’s launchpool to earn F tokens prior to token listing.  Users can also participate in staking on Gate.io to earn a portion of 75,000 $F tokens on launch day.

“Since day one, decentralization has been at the heart of SynFutures’ mission. With the Foundation and F token, we’re a step closer to that milestone and are empowering the community to shape the protocol’s future,” said Rachel Lin, Co-Founder & CEO of SynFutures.

Building a full-stack DeFi solution

One of the biggest milestones for SynFutures going forward is expanding its onchain financial services and building a community-centric full-stack finance ecosystem. It will expand its offerings beyond perp trading and gradually add more services including spot aggregation, and wealth management, among others.

About SynFutures

SynFutures (F) is a leading decentralized exchange and full-stack financial infrastructure provider. Utilizing its innovative Oyster AMM model and a fully onchain order-matching engine, SynFutures enables anyone to list and trade any asset with leverage. As the top perpetual futures DEX on multiple networks like Base, it introduced the industry’s first Perp Launchpad, attracting bluechips, memecoins, and more.

Backed by top-tier institutions like Pantera, Polychain, Dragonfly, Standard Crypto, Framework, and SIG, SynFutures is building an all-in-one platform for spot, perpetual, and wealth management, streamlining DeFi for all.
