FINALLY! This doesn't just give the advantage to the Big Three banana companies - it opens the markets to the small ones and more importantly the growers' cooperatives. With tariffs coming down, they can finally afford to export their crops - stuff that would otherwise have been sold only domestically or rotted waiting for transport.
