Year-round, on the same continuous programme logic as bananas and frequently on the same vessels.

The complication with plantains is at the destination: smaller lots, a narrower set of buyers, and a habit of being the part of a mixed load that gets deprioritised when a container has to be split. Knowing which box they are in beats knowing the month.

Last reviewed August 2026. Editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule. Weather moves them, sometimes by weeks.
