Welcome to 3M Bananas

Grown to be great!

The
Better
Banana

We take our bananas seriously, so that you don’t have to.

Rooted in a long family tradition of agriculture in the Lowveld, our journey led us to the fertile soils of Southern Mozambique, where our farm, Lanbob, produces top-quality bananas for the Southern African market under the 3M Bananas brand.

While our macadamias travel to international markets, our bananas stay closer to home – fresh, fair, and full of flavour for Southern Africa.

More than just our name, 3M Bananas stands for honest farming, sustainable practices, and a vision to build a better banana industry from the ground up.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to be industry leaders in the banana and macadamia game. To deliver top-quality bananas and macadamias that are accessible and affordable. To market transparently and price fairly. Support sustainable farming and uplift local economies by creating jobs and opportunities.

Crackin’ Good Macs

Though bananas are our namesake, macadamias are a proud part of the 3M Bananas story. Grown on 45 hectares at our Boane farm in Southern Mozambique, our macadamias are cultivated with care, dehusked and dried on-site to preserve quality from tree to export. While they’re destined for international markets, they’re rooted in the same values that guide everything we grow: sustainable farming, safety, and honest practices. We conduct annual MRL testing to ensure our macadamias meet food safety standards—part of our commitment to delivering a trusted product, naturally.
