Banana production is a Costa Rica industry that accounted for 13 percent of the world’s total exports between 2002 and 2006.

The nation exported the fruit to 38 countries in 2009, and there are no signs of it slipping as a world-favorite food.

The U.S. is one of the biggest consumers, receiving 43 percent of Costa Rica’s 2009 exports.

The industry employs more than 34,000 laborers, and you’ll get a complete picture of how the fruit impacts the economies of worker communities, including their education, housing and commerce.

Costa Rican farmers began growing banana plants in 1878, the first Central American country to do so. With the final tracks laid for an Atlantic railway by 1890, the industry grew rapidly and continued to grow throughout the 20th century as more people discovered the delicious fruit.


Plantations in Costa Rica have designated more than 100,000 acres to its production, showing that the world is indeed, banana about bananas.
