Popis: The production and export of bananas was the most important economic activity and as such it was the foundation for the economic viability and social and political stability of the very small island developing economies of the Caribbean. The banana industry was the largest employer of labor, largest source of foreign exchange earnings, and sustained thousands of small farmers.
