Yes, 3 weeks is a very long time for bananas, unless they are picked unripe and then gassed at your end. Of course, this defeats the entire purpose of getting a great tasting banana. Specialty bananas are being grown on a small commercial scale in southern France, western Morocco, Israel, and possibly elsewhere near you but that is the extent of my knowledge.
