Maybe the UN wants to get involved so they can control the import / export of bananas?
Why couldn't it be something like broccoli that is in danger of being extinct?
Why bananas?
• Bananas (including plantain) are the
developing world’s fourth most important
food crop (after rice, wheat and maize) in
terms of gross value of production.
• The crop is grown in 130 countries
throughout the tropics and sub-tropics.
• More than 85% of global banana
production is produced by small-scale
farmers for home consumption or for sale
in local and regional markets.
• Bound for export or local markets, the
banana is an essential source of foreign
exchange, domestic income and means to
alleviate poverty.
• Bananas are used as a staple for 70
million people in Africa.
Bananas are grown in 130 countries? The more involved the UN becomes the deeper it gets its claws into a country. If it could hold some power over the fourth most important foodstuff for developing countries, what havoc it could wreak. The UN food for sex scandals in Africa, come to mind.
