Do you care where your banana comes from?

I haven’t thought much about it, myself. Here’s the food for thought:

the banana finds itself the unlikely fulcrum of the debate about how we produce, sell and buy food. For the last two decades the importance of the fruit as a mainstay of post-colonial economies has grown; trade blocs have repeatedly clashed over it; and a fair trade movement has emerged around it, redefining the relationship between producers and their customers.
