Around 900 billion bananas are consumed every year around the world and each French person eats more than 7 kg per year. Renowned for being a healthy fruit, recommended by all dietitians, it is at the heart of a global market that arouses desire.
Its profitability is such that it has transformed into a very high-yielding financial investment, totally disconnected from the reality of the plantations.
Working conditions close to slavery, toxic pesticides used intensively, investigation behind the scenes of a ruthless trade war between multinationals.
