Transcript: Let's Go Bananas!! Carl Betz The Chiquita Banana chiquita.com Material Dimensions The Bananas “If you want to get profit, you have to put everything in a monoculture” -Luis Pocasangre, PhD Nearly all bananas sold in supermarkets under the Chiquita brand are the seedless Cavendish variety. Modern bananas are all genetic clones of a single plant grown in England in the 1830s; the house gardener wanted to grow bananas because they appeared on the house wallpaper (Leatherdale 2016) The Cavendish Banana The Cavendish Banana wikipedia.org Britannica.com The Chatsworth House The original banana cultivar, the Gros Michel, was practically wiped out by a fungal disease in the late 1950s. Many say that the Gros Michel is far superior in flavor and texture to the Cavendish variety we know today (Frost 2018) Panama Disease Why Cavendish? The Cavendish banana was immune to panama disease and became the new commercial cultivar (Vice News 2020) atlasobscura.com chiquita.com T4, a new strain of panama disease, is putting the Cavendish banana at risk. There are two schools of though about what to do: But...... T4 Fungus researchgate.net Burning Infected Plants Breed a disease resistant Cavendish Or Change Consumer Preferences geneticliteracyproject.org researchgate.net Industrial banana production is a tech intensive process. Chiquita has filed patents on: Controlled Atmosphere Packaging Freshrinse Produce Wash Banana Peel Processing (chiquita.com n.d., Sole 1990) Patents and Technology Chiquita Tech produceprocessing.net 1899: The United Fruit Company was Founded 1903: Refrigerated Vessels allowed for better international transport 1910: United Fruit funded the first research on disease resistant bananas 1944: United Fruit adopted the Chiquita name 1990: Chiquita officially changed its name to "Chiquita Brands International" Timeline of the Chiquita Banana Historical Dimensions In 1944 the Chiquita brand that we know today becan with the introduction of the "Chiquita Banana Lady" Miss Chiquita Began as a cartoon fruit delivering a famous jingle on banana ripeness and storage In 1987 Miss Chiquita began to appear as a woman due to t"he image the public had of Miss Chiquita as a real person" (chiquita.com n.d.) Miss Chiquita Symbolism Chiquita.com pinterest.com After recognition as the recommended banana brand by Women's Choice award, Chiquita released a statement containing the following language: "On the premise that women are more approachable, Chiquita was able to put a personal face on bananas and give consumers a trustworthy figure to represent the product." "She has broken through cultural and social barriers to allow Chiquita banana to reach her public" (chiquita.com) Excerpts from a 2018 Corporate Newsletter: "How The First Lady of Fruit Supports Women" Food for Thought: Should Miss Chiquita be portrayed as a feminist symbol? In 1992 Chiquita turned its sights toward sustainability and formed a partnership with the rainforest alliance. Now all of Chiquita's farms are certified under the Rainforest Alliances' Better Banana Project, an effort to protect water quality, wildlife, and worker's rights. (Greenbiz Editors 2000) Chiquita Brands Int. and the Rainforest Alliance Environmentalism rainforestalliance.org Politics and Ethics of Chiquita Brands Political Dimensions "Chiquita is one of the most progressive companies on paper" (Prieto-Carron 2006) In the early 1900s, brands Cumayel and United Fruit Company build infrastructure in Central and South America in exchange for Land Samuel Zemurray of Cumayel donated weapons to a Honduran coup that favored a more industrial banana-friendly regime Corporate imperialism by banana companies led to the coining of the term "Banana Republic" and a legacy of political manipulation (Eschner 2017) Banana Republics Banana Republics pinterest.com The "banana republic" legacy leads into modern times: In 2007, over 4000 Colombians filed a lawsuit against Chiquita under the Torture Victims Protection act, claiming torure and deaths by Chiquita-supported paramilitary groups Chiquita admitted to sending money to the United Self-Defense Forces of Columbia between 1994 and 2004; they paid a $25 million settlement for the criminal activity (Business and Human Rights Resource Centre, n.d.) Cardona v. Chiquita Brands International was dismissed in US courts because "none of the relevant conduct took place in the United States" (Kelley 2018) Cardona v. Chiquita Brands International Cardona v. Chiquita In 1992 Chiquita Brands Int. joined the Better Banana Project. They wrote a corporate code of conduct (SA8000) that intends to: Provide internal and external review of working conditions in their supply chain Prohibits gender discrimination and sexual harassment Distribute a simplified version of the SA8000 code to train workers As a result of these efforts, Chiquita is considered one of the most progressive companies on paper (Prieto-Carron 2006) Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social
