That Tetchy EU Banana Problem

There are fears the price of bananas could rocket as the EU plans to treble the duty on imports of the fruit.

Bananas generally come into Europe from Latin America, which has an import quota.

However, now the EU is looking at changing that, to be at the same level of charges imposed on all regions outside Europe.

If adopted, the plan could see import prices here go from €75 per tonne to €230 from next January.
