Know your fruit: The banana

The humble banana, pound-for-pound one of the cheapest fruits grown and sold in Taiwan. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, up to 80,000ha of land was devoted to growing bananas, and the fruit was one of Taiwan's top three exports. (Refined sugar was consistently no. 1). Most went to Japan, a total of 653,800 tonnes in 1967 alone. Local bananas are excellent and healthy!
