Tile-roofed huts sit among lush green farmland. Mountains loom in the background.
Ecuador is a ecologically-diverse nation, and its products reflect the area where they were produced. In the east, tropical fruits and rainforest products abound. In the west, the coastal plantations produce sugar, rice, and bananas. In the highlands of Ecuador, in the center of the country, small farms produce grains, wheat, and corn.
