      Just look up United Fruit Company and start reading:

      The banana trade symbolizes economic imperialism, injustices in the global trade market, and the globalization of the agricultural economy. Bananas are also number four on the list of staple crops in the world and one of the biggest profit makers in supermarkets

      It’s not just land grabs by people wearing crowns
