Over 100 billion bananas are consumed worldwide
each year. India, China, Brazil, and Indonesia account for half
of that consumption.
Bananas make up
approximately 75% of the annual tropical fruit trade. In fact,
they are the world's most exported fruit. The world's top banana
exporter is Ecuador, while the United States imports the most
bananas.
Bananas grow in
tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Classified
botanically as a berry, bananas grow on large plants that look
like big bushes. The name "banana" comes from the Arabic word
"banan," which means finger.
