Bananas in Ireland?

Question

Answer 10

haha thats cool! yay us

Answer 11

What Qi didn't tell you is that Ireland holds the prices that they pay for the whole crop and manipulates the profit that the Country of Belize gets... By being the biggest customer, in fact the only one, a monopoly exsists that stops Belize getting a better deal from anyone else and keeps the farmers from getting a better rate of pay. It is nothing to be proud off !
