Subject: Bananas
Chris:
Since you relay news about the Caribbean, at least about Cuba, did
you see in the papers this week a column about Chiquita trying to get
US to elbow out Caribbean countries' production of bananas from
European markets? Mickey Kantor is seeking to get European countries
to accept Chiquita bananas at expense of several small Caribbean
producers -- this really might be an example of the "development of underdevelopment".
