To Properly Explain The EU's Bendy Bananas Rules: Yes, They're Real Tim Worstall Contributor Given the Brexit referendum in my native UK, the story about how the European Union insists that bendy bananas are illegal to sell has popped up again. And the usual defense is being made of those rules: that industry asked for these standards and the EU simply did as industry asked. However, that's not really quite and totally what happened, and underlying this is a basic economic problem over public policy which needs to be explained. I should note here two things: One, that I am hugely biased against the very idea of the existence of the European Union itself. I think it's a bad idea and everyone should leave. I'm also one of the few people around who has actually written an international standard so do have some direct experience of the point under discussion (I wrote the scandium standard contract for the Minor Metals Traders Association). The s...

Global Banana Crisis Author:  Tyler Beck Published:   12/26/2017 12:31:29 PM Image Source With over  $25 billion  in global sales, the banana is the world’s most popular fruit. However, the spread of a fungal disease, commonly known as Panama Disease, is threatening the existence of the banana as we know it. The soil-borne fungus has already damaged approximately  one-third of Asia and Australia’s banana plantations and has spread west to the Middle East and Africa. If the disease makes its way to Latin America and the Caribbean, which account for  85% of world banana exports , it could be game over for the banana as we know it. While there are over 1,500 varieties of banana, virtually all banana production and sale is of the Cavendish banana. The hundreds of other varieties of bananas are not commercially viable due to their size, shape, color, and taste. Many of the other banana varieties are much smaller, contain seeds, have a differ...

Battling to save the world's bananas By Kim Gittleson BBC business correspondent, Namialo, Mozambique 1 February 2018 Share this with Facebook   Share this with Messenger   Share this with Twitter   Share this with Email   Share Image copyright ALAMY Image caption Is this the future for many of the world's banana farms? Visiting the Matanuska banana plantation is not easy these days. After a two-hour drive from the nearest city in northern Mozambique, visitors who make it to the farm are stopped at the entrance and asked to dip their feet in pools of disinfectant. Even the cars get a bath. Once an apparent miracle - a massive banana plantation in the middle of a dry, flat part of a desperately poor country - its formerly lush greenery has now been devastated by a deadly fungus called Panama disease. Five years ago, Tropical race 4 (TR4), as it's formally known, was spotted here for the first time in Africa after killing off milli...
