The objective of this work is to compare banana exports in thousands of dollars in Ecuador, in the first semester January-June 2019 vs the first semester January-June 2020, expressed in metric tons and in thousands of dollars, bearing in mind the Post Covid-19 effect, using a mixed methodology, qualitatively obtained figures of exports published in official bodies such as the Central Bank of Ecuador, with a descriptive scope that resulted in verifying the exports of the years of study, preparing linear graphs in Excel for discussion of results. Also applying the qualitative methodology in order to determine if the effect of the Covid 19 pandemic actually had a significant impact. The investigation determined that despite the Pandemic that caused a great economic impact, the exporting banana sector has not been affected in its growth, obtaining as a result that the country exported in the period from January to June 2019 12696 metric tons and gender 1706.2 million dollars, and in the same period in 2020 it exported 12,921 metric tons and generated 2003.3 million dollars, thus an absolute variation of 225 metric tons and 297.1 million dollars more than the first semester of 2019 is evident, with a percentage of 17.41% of positive variation.
