Bananas are the most exported and consumed fresh fruit globally, playing a vital role in trade and food security. The implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is becoming essential for creating a fair and resilient supply chain. HRDD helps businesses identify and mitigate adverse human rights impacts in their operations.

The FAO's World Banana Forum webinar discussed integrating child and forced labour prevention into HRDD to enhance decent work in the banana industry. It provided stakeholders with practical tools and strategies to address the root causes of these issues, improve monitoring systems, and foster safer workplaces.
