Álvaro Noboa's Speech

Álvaro Noboa and the Country

The newspaper El Expreso and other media constantly mention the names of the major Banana Exporters of the country, which are: Dole, Chiquita, Bonita or Exportadora Bananera Noboa, Excelban, Del Monte, Favorita or Reybanpc, Derbi, Bonanza, JFC, among others. However, only Bananera Noboa is mentioned in the media as the company that owes to the Treasury.

The truth is that Bananera Noboa doesn't owes anything to the Treasury, on the year 2005 Bananera Noboa earned $ 1´219,851 dollars and paid the amount of $ 259,218 to taxes, while Ubesa or Dole paid considerably less than that, Chiquita, Del Monte, Reybanpac and other companies paid even less taxes.

On that year Bananera Noboa was the first banana exporter of the country, however Bananera Noboa received a gloss on the same year for a quantity of $ 226´669,000 dollars. While none of the other exporters I have mentioned have received a gloss, not even close. This my fellow Ecuadorians, confirms that this is a chase, not them or me should receive such gloss, there can't a payment disproportion of the tax payments of almost 300 more times against Bananera Noboa versus the other exporters.

On the other hand, I'm tired that people say Álvaro Noboa owes money to the Treasury. Álvaro Noboa is on the white list of the IRS as one of the major contributors. On the Internet you can check the IRS Certificates that Álvaro Noboa is on the white list, the same as Industrial Molinera and other companies of the Noboa Group, they all pay their taxes. With this, my fellow Ecuadorians, I hope I have cleared my good name and I intend to keep it like that until the day I die, as homage to Ecuador and my children.

Thank you, Ecuadorians.
