Why does Chiquita not like Canadian shale oil? Why does it not realize that any boycott of a fungible item is in vain?

Good questions both.

I’d add, though, that whyile boycotts of a fungible item are in vain overall with respect to cartels, they aren’t with respect to individual competing brands - even if the goods are fungible. So unless Chiquita’s competitors oblige it by private-labelling or some such thing, a boycott could have lots of impact on Chiquita.
