IMPORTATION OF BANANAS
INTO THE UNITED STATES.
Four thousand million bananas were
imported into the United States ii
the calendar year 1910. The banana
lialbit is a growing one in the United
States. In the early eighties the val
ue of bananas imported, according to
the figures of the Bureau of Statis
tics of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, ranged between one and
two million dollars per annum; by
1890 the value had increased to 4L,
million dollars, in the fiscal year of
1900 to r early G million 'diollnrs; sind
in the calendar year 1910, to practic
ally 12to million, dollars. The r ;,i 1
growth in this class of importations
led the Bur au of Statistics a fewt |
years ego to call upon collectors of -
customs for tile quantity as well ns
the value imported, and the figures
of quantities begin ing with the y ,ar
190S, showed for that year 35% mil
lion bunches; in 1909, 39 Vs million:
and in 1910, a little over 40 rnilli« a
bunches were imported. Assuming
that these average 100 bananas to tlie , 1 '
! Hu-rx-ffi, a figure which the importers
state to b;- a conservative estimate,
the total number imported in 1910
would aggregate approximately 4,0 >0
million bamana;.
The value of the bananas imported
in the last decade aggregates in
r 'iunl terms 100 million dollars. In
the cabudar year 1901 the total val
ue of Bananas imported was 6% mil
lion dollars; in 1905, 9% millier.; in
1907, 11 h million ; and in 1910, 12 Vi
milliew. These figures of the values
of bananas imported are the valua
tion at wholesale prie s in the eoun
tries from which exported to the Uni
ted States, aa'nd the average price
per bunch was 31 cents as will be
readily seen by dividing the 40,192,95t
b lurches imported in 1910 into the
stated value of $12,433,334. Haw
much money is paid by consumers in
the United Sttates for bananas can
net be estimated with accuracy,
thengih the cost of freight, and the
profits of importers, wholesalers at .a
retailers must add very materially to
the 12 % million dollars paid fer them
iu the countries of production.
Oemfrr.tl America and the West In
dies are The chief sources of supply
of the bananas imported into the Uni
ted States. Of the 40 million, bunches
imported in the calendar year 1910,
21 million were from Central Ameri
ca; 13% million from British West
Indies; 2% million from South. Amer
ica!, principally Colombia and Dutch
Guiana; 2 million from Cuba; and
about 1 million from other countries.
Costa Rica is the largest source of
supply in Central America, Honduras
to
U.
;.
second, and Panama third, and Ja
maica is the largest, source of supply
in, the West Indian Islands. The
United States is the world's largest
importer of ha anas. The 1 nited
Kingdom is the next Lit est importer,
ner imports of this article iu. t'.ie cal
endar year 1509 being 0 1 1 million
hunches, as again st 39!& million
bunches import' J into the United
States in the same year.
Practically the entire 'banana sup
ply of the United States comes from
abroad. K'forts have been made from
time to time to develop the banana
in Uistr y in the extreme south and in
California, but the domestic produc
tion is inconsiderable v. hen eompar. tl
with the importation. The banana,
while probably -a native of India, is
4 iiow grown in practically all tropical
countries, and among a consiJerald
part of the human race ranks as high
as do cereal grains among the peo
ple of the temperate zones, and it is
said to produce more food upon a giv
en area than wheat. The consump
tion of bananas in temperate zone
countries has increased enormously
in recent years. They ta-re used chief
ly in tHe natural state but in smaller
quantities in the form of banana Horn
made from ripe fruit. Small quai iti
ties of this flour are imported into
the United States but in such inron.
sid' ruble amounts that the Bureau
of Statistics has not up bo this time
found it advisable to separately enu
merate it among articles imported.
