Practically the entire banana supply
of the United States comes from
abroad. Efforts have been made from
time to time to develop the banana
industry in the extreme south and in
California. but the domestic produc-

with the importation. The banana,

IMPORTATION or BANANAS
INTO THE UNITED STATES

Four thousand million bananas were
imported into the United States in the
calendar year 1870 The banana habit
is growing one in the United States.
In the early eighties the value OF
bananas imported, according to the
figures OF the bureau of statistics OF
the department OF commerce and labor
ranged between one and two million
dollars per annum; .py 1890 the value
had increased to four and one-half
million dollars, in the fiscal year OF
1900 to nearly six million dollars; and
In the calendar year 1910, to practical
" twelve and one-half million dollars,
The rapid growth in this class Of i'm
portations led the bureau Of statistics
few days ago to call upon collectors
OF customs for the quantity as well as
the value imported, and the figures OF
quantities, beginning with the year
1908, showed for that year thirty-five
and three-fourths million lunches; In
1909, thirty-nine and one-haf million;
and In 1910, a little over forty million
punches were imported Assuming
that these average 100 bananas to the
bunch, figure which the importers
state to be a conservative estimate,
the total number imported In 1910 ag-
gregate approximately 1000 million
bananas.
The value of the bananas imported
in the last decade aggregates in round
terms 100 million dollars. In the cal
endar year 1901 the total value of
bananas imported was six and three
fourths million dollars in 1905. nine
and three-fourths million. in 1907
eleven and three-fourths Million and
in 1910. twelve and one-half million,
These figures of the values of bananas
imported are the valuation at whole
sale prices in the countries from which
exported to the United States. and the
average price per bunch was thirty
one cents, as will be readily seen by
dividing the 40,f92. 1858 lunches import,
ed in 1910 into the stated value of
$12,4S3,3S4. How much money is paid
by consumers IN the United States for
bananas cannot be estimated with ac-
euracy though the cost of freight. and
the profits of importers. wholesalers
and retailers must add very material
ly to the twelve and one-half million
dollars paid for them in the countries
of production.
Central America and the West Indies
are the chief sources of supply of the
bananas imported into the United
States OF the forty million lunches
imported in the calendar year 1910,
twenty-one million were from General
America; thirteen and one half mil
lion from British West Indies; two
and one-half million from South Amer
lea, principally Colombia and Dutch
Guiana; two million from Cuba; and
about one million from other coun-
tries. Costa Riea is the largest source
of supply in General America, Hon
duras second, and Panama third, and
