The bananas in the grocery store are labeled as "American Bananas" -- except the sticker actually says they're grown in Ecuador. (Kind of makes me wonder about the South African oranges they sell.)American bananas ONLY cost .79 - .89 cents/pound. Bananas grown on Guam cost $2.50/pound! Of course, if I had a machete I'd walk out the back door, venture into the jungle a few feet, and harvest some of my own -- for free. Somebody please explain the economics of banana pricing.
The only green bananas are local fruit. Any American bananas purchased in the store will turn soft in a day or two after purchase. So we buy only a few at a time.

well there can be only one reason, the bananas on guam are the best bananas in the whole wide world, well maybe second place after the bananas in chuuk. So that they may have been the reason why they're expensive.
