The European Union's Banana Support Programme was a financial support program for the Jamaican banana industry that ran between 1999 and 2013.[1][2] Since 1999, the European Union (EU) has provided more than €40 million in aid to the industry. The programme had two components, the Rural Diversification Programme (RDP) and the Banana Improvement Programme (BIP).[3] The former funded projects for encouraging diversification of the rural economy into other fields including bee farming and agro-tourism as well as improvement of rural infrastructure, whereas the latter supported development in the banana industry itself.[4][3]
