I'm telling you there's tons of things out there as long as the community is tight. With bananas the main markets here are china and korea, the u.s. used to get from the phils but i guess shipment costs and turnaround time killed it eventually Chiquita has a monopoly on the banana market in the U.S.: http://www.chiquitabananas.com/Banana-Information/find-banana-farm-map.aspx But anyways, the possibilities are endless. Obviously we would have to start with smaller commodities, build up the trust and the capital. We can do anything from circuit boards, used telecommunication equipment, used medical devises, cars, etc etc. I know that a ton of companies here in the U.S. are now relying on Asian countries other than China to produce their goods.

afaik chiquita bananas are owned by the floirendo family here in my city, theyve been running an entire supply chain operation for ages so im not surprised. bananas are not really that great for the U.S for small guys. since so many factors can fuck up entire shipments so id like to limit to processed banana products for now (flour/chips). and also limited to Asian countries or at the farthest, Saudi nations (which is the best from what i heard)

im still trying to think what U.S. stuff sells here and ill talk to you if i find something. just pm me where i can reach you.

My mate's scared of bananas. He actually runs away when he sees one. The theories as to the genesis of this phobia are legion and comedy. Ironically, he's a hard bastard otherwise.

We once trapped him in the pub by hanging a banana skin on every door handle at closing time. He stood in the middle, quaking slightly.

anyone from nearby banana powder/flour/chip hungry countries?

gotta wait for the next flood to hit QLD australia nad then import the shit out of them.

Banana prices went from like 1 dollar to like 9 bucks a kilo when it happened last year

alot of money to be made i reckon

I don't know about chips and flour but you won't get bananas into Australia due to strict quarantine laws. When cyclone Yasi hit bananas here actually did go up to almost $15 a kilo. When that happened there was a call to relax quarantine and import but I remember reading that it would take something like 3 years to pass through the appropriate channels? I doubt the Australian Banana Growers Council would just let it happen though.

oh thats prob the reason i havent heard of aus importing bananas from here. its mostly saudi and other asian countries like japan,korea etc
