Green, it makes great chifles.

Thank you so much for the information!! We had been told otherwise, so this is very encouraging. I have been wanting to go back to Ecuador for a while, but knowing we can bring back maqueno will push our plans forward more quickly. So, no permit is needed, but a phyto will be needed from Ecuador - any idea who to contact about getting a phyto? We lived on the edge of the jungle and our friends would not know about how to go about that.
Try getting in touch with them;

Sanidad Vegetal | Agrocalidad

If it works, think of me!!! I would love some platanos and it's hard to get here!
