Abstract: It is undeniable that trading terms are continuing to deteriorate, indeed reaching crisis point. Between a downward trend in European banana prices and the steep inflation in production factor costs, margins are now close to zero. Especially since the regulations and markets are demanding better in both environmental and social terms, and sanitary threats are setting in. The sector must change, out of absolute necessity. Yet no-one ever asks about how these stipulated changes in practice are to be financed.
