- how is it grown (conditions)
- The time between planting a banana plant and the harvest of the banana bunch is
from 9 to 12 months. The flower appears in the sixth or seventh month. Bananas are
available throughout the year - they do not have a growing 'season'.
- Banana growing is, in general, labour intensive, involving clearing of jungle growth,
propping of the plants to counter bending from the weight of the growing fruit, and
irrigation in some regions. As well as an intensive use of pesticides, the conventional
production process involves covering banana bunches with polyethylene bags to protect
them from wind, attacks of insects or birds and to maintain optimum temperatures.
- After nine months, the bananas are harvested while still green. At the packhouse they
are inspected and sorted for export.
- When the bananas arrive at their destination port they are first sent to ripening
rooms (aprocess involving ethylene gas) and then sent to the shops.
