When I lived in Taiwan, back in 1956 to 1958, I was about 12 to 14 years old. I remember eating bananas there that came right off the plant. Those bananas were so sweet and moist. When we were sent back to the States, I hated the taste of the bananas and it took a long time to start eating them regularly again.
@@adrianamorales818 It gives fruit once and then dies.. after it die another tree grows from its branch and bear fruit.... it is grown in country like India and Bangladesh with tropical wet and subtropical climate.
We are now growing Gros Michael variety of banana in a mainland of Japan in 100% organic taking advantage of newly invented agricultural technology. They used to be called Taiwanese banana back in 1950-60 in Japan and they taste really sweet and moist as you remembered.
Honestly, I've always been watching all your videos and whenever I watch, it's giving me a calm and relaxing vibes and a positive energy. Also, your videos help me relieve my stress. Always take care and so is your family. Thank you for always giving us these wonderful videos ❤
@@jennifersneegas8352 This particular labor as you can see from the video is mostly people working by hand and barely using any machinery. Mostly on a fields. Imagine working at high temperatures lifting this stacks of bananas that weight about 60kg through the fields to the vehicle they transport it and backwards. Its hard labor work.And its not just that all they do. It has nothing to do with u standing on your feed in a factory driven mostly by machines. In 3rd countries like this owners tend to pay poorly to their workers and they have to bust their asses off work everyday. In the US you could just quit that job and move to something else.

I have always loved watching banana plants and I enjoy bananas in my yogurt and cereals. Its amazing to see how the bananas I enjoy today are shipped. thank you for all the hard work and army of people who bring the delicious banana to my table! ^0^ I actually have some found memories with the banana trees that makes me love watching the banana trees..I remember specifically that there was this one banana tree that actually bore fruit to my surprise in my childhood neighbourhood, and I was always tempted to pick it and eat it or climb it..My mum stopped me from climbing banana tree or eating the green banana fruit which was still growing for one thing and the other thing, it grew up next to a road where cars and other traffic constantly passed, so it may not have been the cleanest banana in the world..but I still got to enjoy watching it and learned how bananas that I eat grew! It may actually have been the first time I saw any fruit grow in my life, which added to the fun and excitement ^0^ Even to this day I wonder if that banana is still there today..(never mind the fact when I lived there would be almost good 20-23 yrs ago, but I would certainly wish to visit it if that same tree was still there ^^) Shout out to that banana tree if its still there (^0^)/
Wow you are so grateful and appreciative of your food and environment. Spoken like a Buddhist! 😌 Being mindful in everyday life is key, even for 'common' things, it prevents taking our positive things for granted.
My grandma used to tell me the story how my great grandfather worked at chiquita banana company in Honduras in the 1940’s and 1950’s it was an American company so it was a great place to work apparently.
I would like to say thank you to all the employees who work so hard especially during this pandemic, to make sure we can eat good quality fruits from your company 🙏💗🤗 may God continue to bless you all in Jesus mighty name Amen
May be you don't believe that I didn't know about the banana flowers and how they grow and give us this delicious fruit. Because I grow up in cold climate area.
In my native village.... In my home we have so many bananas trees.. We usually don't take care... But bananas trees always love us and give us sweet and fresh bananas

+Hiroshi Bell It's foodsafe wax - it seals the cut stem to prevent it from molding. The skin of the bananas and stem won't rot, but the inside of the stem can rot if it is cut and exposed.

When I worked in a supermarket, the guys in the produce section said they would occasionally find a huge dangerous spider among the bananas and they'd have to call animal control. Obviously they hitched a ride from the country of origin. I wonder what stage of the packing they could've gotten in the banana boxes? Maybe in the trucks or shipping vessel? Unless they burrow into the banana? I did see that one video...
Everything looked like there was a lot of careful thought in the entire process. I'd be interested to know how much the workers make and what their benefits are...
***** Be careful though, the phrase going bananas was coined due to the manic state in which Dole workers are frequently found after having worked for Dole too long.
Extremely fascinating: How Dole Harvests Bananas -- a few tips for home harvesters, but how many Red Flags can you see in this as they promote themselves as Sustainable (certainly not chemical-free, even in the harvesting) and near the end they say "...very little of our process is automated" when, in fact, it is totally automated! Guess they don't count human automation, only machine automation!
I live in Houston. Bananas grow in my backyard, nice, shorter, I like those better than long one, they have a slightly sourish taste.They are easy to grow.
I'm an Australian banana laborer and my hourly wage is $26.70 which is good money but I really doubt that the workers in this video would receive even a quarter of that.
I worked for a metallic ceramic company that had a contract to coat barrels of BANANA mush (I guess!) that were bound for factory's that make BABY food...the barrels had been sitting around for 6 MONTHS before the company got the contract! I hate to think of how much of the metallic coating could have leeched INTO the bananas...and then fed to our children. I know my boys loved their bananas and if I'd known how it was processed I GUARANTEE I would have just made their banana eats myself! In fact, if I had it to do all over I'd have just made their food myself!
When my family moved to Taiwan, the front yard of the house had a Banana Tree. Unfortunately, we moved to another house later, so did not have the chance to see growing Bananas.
Wow, I thought bananas were harvested more like a third world way. The video really opened my eyes to the great care that is taken to harvest them. However, I'd like to know how many chemicals are sprayed on them?
bananas are so delicate, that is why so little is automated.. so in all countries where people are cheaper than machines it because its all delicate.. coffee chocolate fruit tea rice.. right...
free trade is a reference to trade deals america has made with other countries to prevent tarifs. The world trade organization punishes countries if they don't follow the deals. So our corporations go into an area and develop it for a third world country. If the country resists our corporation can sue under the guise of USAID and IMF. We force third world nations to allow our corporations in and either displace indigenous people for massive farming plantations or mining operations. Often these projects involve some kind of massive loan from the world bank to the third world nation to build roads and support for the business coming in. Once a third world nation is in debt and default on the loan (not only do the lack of tariffs mean they cannot pay off the debt, every single third world nation is now in debt to the world bank) the IMF can claim structural adjustment. Structural adjustment is when the IMF (international monetary fund) decide labor laws, environmental laws, utilities are force to be privatized. Everything is changed to help business as much as possible. Pollute all you want. Pay the workers a dollar a day. Military budgets for these countries are forced higher to maintain order during this time of "adjustment". Since the 50s and 60s our government has had a huge influence on international law. Forcing countries to allow our corporations in without getting any benefit except for some very low paying jobs. That is what free trade is.
It may not be chemicals as we understand the word. It could be an oil or wax sealant for example.We never used such a thing on our bananas so i cant be sure ( i havent worked in the industry for several decades) Generally these days chemicals are avoided as much as possible
@@Njennings42 bananas don't "breathe," stop spreading misinformation. As for the chemicals they are only on the stem and someone else in the comments said it was probably sodium bicarbonate
@@nathanjohnson9464 Oh right, sorry. They absorb oxygen, and release CO2. Sorry, not breathing. Oxidation. The very reason they're spraying the bananas.

Post harvest treatment to preserve freshness....mask and gloves on. What is this "treatment"?

bananas are so delicate, that is why so little is automated..
so in all countries where people are cheaper than machines it because its all delicate.. coffee chocolate fruit tea rice.. right...
3:17 What chemicals are you using that requires a worker to wear a protective face mask?!?!
Everyone should take a look at "BANANAS!*" a documentary about the working conditions of Doles workers and how little they care about them.
propaganda dramatic films are made to take your guilty money

Interessante documentaire. Wat een werk totdat ik een banaan op eet.
Those protective pads look like floor mats from an automobile.
none of the workers looks happy.
+Truc Ly Le none of the bananas look sad
They're obviously having to overexert. :(
+Truc Ly Le That is because due to free trade laws they are paid almost nothing.
"free trade" is buzzword. tariffs prove this.
free trade is a reference to trade deals america has made with other countries to prevent tarifs. The world trade organization punishes countries if they don't follow the deals. So our corporations go into an area and develop it for a third world country. If the country resists our corporation can sue under the guise of USAID and IMF. We force third world nations to allow our corporations in and either displace indigenous people for massive farming plantations or mining operations. Often these projects involve some kind of massive loan from the world bank to the third world nation to build roads and support for the business coming in. Once a third world nation is in debt and default on the loan (not only do the lack of tariffs mean they cannot pay off the debt, every single third world nation is now in debt to the world bank) the IMF can claim structural adjustment. Structural adjustment is when the IMF (international monetary fund) decide labor laws, environmental laws, utilities are force to be privatized. Everything is changed to help business as much as possible. Pollute all you want. Pay the workers a dollar a day. Military budgets for these countries are forced higher to maintain order during this time of "adjustment". Since the 50s and 60s our government has had a huge influence on international law. Forcing countries to allow our corporations in without getting any benefit except for some very low paying jobs. That is what free trade is.
I worked for dole in Australia but they closed the farm now because of high wages they have to pay in Philippines cheap labour
Thank a Socialist for that....Trump 2020
I work. Here in Philippines. For banana. Harvest. My salary is so cheap. But I Dont have a choice. Cuz I don't have no educated

Never thought that it is this complex just to harvest banana.
I hope I will have a space soon and plant it in my backyard.
unless you live in tropical or subtropical climate, it wouldn't work.
@@davidjacobs8558 I live in Central Philippines. As tropical as it gets 😉😊
Why does she need a mask when ‘preserving freshness’ 3:17 :/ serious chemicals
It may not be chemicals as we understand the word. It could be an oil or wax sealant for example.We never used such a thing on our bananas so i cant be sure ( i havent worked in the industry for several decades)
Generally these days chemicals are avoided as much as possible
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Bananas "breathe" through the stem part, so image how much of whatever that is goes right into the banana..
@@Njennings42 bananas don't "breathe," stop spreading misinformation. As for the chemicals they are only on the stem and someone else in the comments said it was probably sodium bicarbonate
@@nathanjohnson9464 Oh right, sorry. They absorb oxygen, and release CO2. Sorry, not breathing. Oxidation. The very reason they're spraying the bananas.
Buy organic Boycott the rest
