==Background Information== | ==Background Information== | ||
The tropical fruit market is a prime example of our globalized, interdependent world: Each EU citizen eats about 12 kilos of bananas a year. In 2012 the EU banana retail market alone had a volume of 7 billion Euros. Due to unequal distribution of power and wealth within global supply chains, farmers and workers in the tropical fruit sector do not get their fair share of profits. Besides, they are facing severe violations of labour and human rights as for example the prohibition of trade unions, unpaid overtime and the exposure to toxic chemicals. | The tropical fruit market is a prime example of our globalized, interdependent world: Each EU citizen eats about 12 kilos of bananas a year.
