🍌💰 The Banana Economy: A Fruit Worth Billions!  

Did you know that bananas fuel an industry worth over $25 billion a year? 🤯🍌  

🌍 Global Obsession: Bananas are the most exported fruit in the world, with over 100 billion eaten annually! The top producers? Ecuador, the Philippines, and Costa Rica.  

⏳ The Banana Crisis: Almost all commercial bananas are from the same clone**—the Cavendish. A deadly fungus (*Panama Disease*) is wiping them out, and scientists are racing to save the fruit before it’s too late! 🦠⚠️  

🏢 **Banana Empires: Companies like Chiquita & Dole built billion-dollar empires—sometimes even influencing governments (*Banana Republics, anyone?* 🇭🇳).  

Crazy to think how this simple fruit rules economies! 🍌👑
