    Banana Republic Pros And Cons

    Banana Republic is a term used to describe nations whose economy is dominated by extraterritoriality, but more specifically nations in the Caribbean and Central America whose economies were controlled by the three big fruit companies: the United Fruit Company, the Dole Fruit Company, and the Cuyamel Fruit Company. Under a liberal rhetoric, these companies used their investor rights established through extraterritoriality, to purchase huge plots of land while claiming it’s governed authority. The indigenous that previously tilled the land are converted into peons. Peons are completely controlled by debt, having no customary rights to the land, and are forced into a form of debt slavery, similar to plantations of the mercantilism era. Through the peonage system, owners can charge rent for the land, own all the transportation infrastructure of the land, and essentially regulate everything to do with the land. Including the privilege to force peons to sell them their crops at the prices set by landlords, which keeps peons in spiralling debt. This ‘frutera’ system works much like the old style enclosed plantation system, but is more sophisticated since it can be imposed on ‘free’ people, and supported by the legal structures, which make local governments responsible for enforcing this structure, in terms of upholding their ‘liberalism’ and the principles of investor rights.…

    Commodity Chain Analysis - Banana

    Perhaps more than any other agricultural product the banana reflects the colonial, neo-colonial, economic nationalism and contemporary stages of the evolution of the world economy.2 The banana was introduced to the North Americas in the late 1800’s because of the invention of the refrigerated ship.3 The influence of technology is evident even in these early stages of banana globalization. Since then, the banana has remained popular worldwide but has faced its share of problems. Between 1993-2001, there were disputes between America and the European Union (EU) due to a complex problem involving banana licensing. The stages of production, transportation and consumption all create a complex and important story to the most consumed fruit worldwide because its history intertwines with political and social trends.…

    What do you think were the root causes for Chiquita’s actions in Colombia that ultimately led to their conviction

    “Historically, the banana trade symbolized economic imperialism, injustices in the global trade market, and the exploitation of agriculture-dependent third-world countries”(2). However, they remain to be one of the most profitable items in grocery stores. Making bananas crucial to economic and global food stability for countries all over the world. They are the third largest staple crop, coming only after wheat and coffee. Since bananas are such a sought after fruit, many companies have gone to extensive lengths in the to fight for a share of the market. Chiquita Brands International was one of the pioneer companies to try and globalize bananas. They took a risk and made some very critical mistakes along the way.…

    Bananas, Chiquita, and Globalization

    It all started with the United Fruit Company at the turn of the 20th century in Costa Rica with the Soto-Keith contract. (Wiley 71). This contract between Costa Rican president and American entrepreneur laid the railroad tracks from San Jose to the port of Limon for the future transnational company, United Fruit (Wiley 71). Because of debts owed to the entrepreneur the government gave him acres of land, which were the future banana plantations of United Fruit Company. This United States based company was innovative in the sense that they combined all parts of the commodity chain under their control for efficiency reasons, from plantation to railroad to shipping, to marketing and distribution (Wiley 70). This very capitalist mentality of vertical integration formed a banana monopoly in the region. This vast amount of control drove out any…

    Controversy in Banana Industry

    The banana industry has long been the center of controversy. In some instances, the banana has been the necessary means for countries to become economically and politically powerful; however, in other instances it has been a hindrance leading to complete dependency and the decline in other industries. Since the banana has turned into a leading crop for a number of countries, the struggle to control production and distribution is at an all-time rise, thus creating the “banana wars.”…

    Chiquita Banana Case

    Six firms dominated the banana industry in the early 1990’s, three from Europe and three from the United States. In 1994, the three United States producers, Chiquita, Dole, and Del Monte, accounted for approximately 72.4% of world banana sales. Chiquita accounted for 48% of worldwide banana sales and 66.4% of banana sales of the three U.S. producers.…

    La Hacienda Musa

    La Hacienda Musa was a long way from Leuven, Belgium. But for Maria Keller, the transition was as natural as it could be. She had spent twenty years in Leuven studying banana genetics at the Catholic University of Leuven’s Laboratory of Tropical Crops, the world center of banana research. She had learned about the challenges the banana-growing industry faced from a variety of diseases, why bananas seemed to be especially susceptible, and how difficult it is to develop new strains of the world’s most popular fruit. But after two decades of study, Maria was ready for something new. She did her homework, packed her few possessions, and headed to her newly purchased banana plantation in Costa Rica. To say that La Hacienda Musa was already a banana plantation was overstating the case. In fact, Maria owned 100 hectares of previously cleared land on which bananas had never been grown. Because this plot was isolated from established banana-growing operations in Costa Rica, the land should be reasonably free from the most important and virulent of banana diseases, Black Sigatoka, a fungal leaf blight. The isolation, coupled with Maria’s expert knowledge of banana culture, and especially the new varieties she had brought with her from Belgium, suggested that she ought to be able to make a success of her new venture. The question that faced Maria at the moment was how much, if any, of her 100 hectares should be dedicated to organic bananas. There were good reasons to go organic: top-quality organic produce would command a premium, and her isolated location would be ideal for growing organic bananas. In 2007, Costa Rica had announced its intention to become the first fully carbon-neutral country. As part of its efforts to offset all Costa Rican carbon emissions, tourists and businesses would pay a voluntary “tax” that would be used to fund conservation, reforestation, and other enterprises that would help move the country toward carbon neutrality. Some of…

    The Fate Of The Fruit That Changed The World By Dan Koeppel

    The Fate Of The Fruit That Changed The World By Dan Koeppel

    In reading Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World by Dan Koeppel, I was pleased by the contents of the book and found it to be an enjoyable read about the history of the banana crop and about the future viability of it as well. Initially, due to many recent discussions I've had on the topic with people, I believed that Koeppel, a New York Times columnist and online blogger, might have focused mainly on how large scale industry was evil and how the “corporations” were dooming us all. The book provided a large historical overview of the crop on top of the industrial problems which I enjoyed immensely. However most importantly for me is that the author does point out the issues with the crop, such as the high production of greenhouse gases involved in the industry, he does not altogether condemn the banana but instead suggests steps to try and save it. This is the highlight of the book…

    Ethical Drift Essay

    Ethical drift is a concept of universal application to issues in health care management and leadership. Overt unethical behavior is always an issue, and one solved with a variety of policies and procedures. Ethical drift, however, is more invidious as it is often unseen until the real problems develop. In order to avoid ethical drift, it is necessary for the healthcare professional to first understand it: what it is and its causes. Only when the concept and causes of ethical drift are understood can policies be crafted and implemented in order to prevent it.…

    From 1997 to 2005 there has been a 444% increase in plastic surgery. Therefore, 11.9 million Americans undergo plastic surgery each year, and out of that 11.9 million 335,000 are teenagers and 74,000 are under the age of eighteen! It seems like plastic surgery has become as easy as getting a haircut. Plastic surgery should not be readily available to the public like this because plastic surgery can be very dangerous, Americans take advantage of the procedures, and the surgery is not 100% guaranteed.…
