What country is the largest exporter of bananas in America?

In: Agriculture, Bananas [Edit categories]

Answer:

"Believe it or not Ireland is the bigest exporter of bananas in the world. Although bananas do not grow in Ireland, Fyffes (an Irish owned company) imports bananas from Columbia, Honduras, Belize and Costa Rica and then exports them throughout Europe making Ireland, as a country, the biggest exporter of bananas in the world!"

Not sure when this was posted, but Fyffes has been a smaller exporter for a long time now. Fyffes is about 5th in the world, with about 7% of market share. U.S.-based Dole and Chiquita are the largest producers and marketers of bananas.
