Banana (Bananier Nain, Canbur, Curro, Plantain, Kela)

Bananas are a staple in the tropics. Many varieties are grown, and the fruit is used in numerous ways. The fruit of the banana is technically a berry. As it grows, the cluster of fruit is called a hand and each banana is known as a finger. Since the plant only bears fruit once, it is cut down after harvest. The seeds are infertile, so shoots are used to start new plants. Bananas are grown throughout the tropics, and S&P most commonly imports this product from Thailand, India, the Philippines, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. Depending on the customer application, however, we can obtain bananas from other countries, as necessary.
