^ lol Tommy; I'd be interested in the answer to that question as well.
As to allowing the Chiquita and Delmonte companies to open commercial plantations here or whatnot to "help" the economy, that's a bit of a double-edged sword. While it could possibly provide some economic stimulus to the country and give many more persons jobs, those companies have a bad habit of turning the countries their plantations are located in to "banana countries" where the cheap source of labor (many largely uneducated and in-need-of-a-job laborers) is exploited, and the economy of the country is dominated by the production and export of said bananas, in some cases to the detriment of other potentially viable and crucially diverse sources of national revenue and economic activity.
That said, hog bananas taste awesome! I think a few of the bananas I put in the yard this year are that variety
