Corporación Bananera Nacional (CORBANA) is a non-governmental institution in Costa Rica supporting the national banana industry.
It was established by law in 1971 to develop the banana industry and to serve banana producers. According to CORBANA, "This institution develops research programs aimed at strengthening the quality of banana farming, provides state-of-the-art technology to producers, maintains lines of credit to facilitate the operation and recovery of the plantations struck by natural disasters in the Costa Rican Caribbean, among other commitments to improve the industry."
The organisation provides technical assistance to the government, promotes scientific research to improve banana farming, operates a fund to provide capital to producers, and compiles national and international banana production and consumption figures for the industry and government. It is funded by the government and by banana producers.
