banana farming
Cultivating yellow fruit
Banana farming is the commercial cultivation of bananas, one of the world's most important fruit crops.
The practice involves planting rhizomes in tropical or subtropical climates, managing large plantations, and harvesting fruit before full ripeness for shipping.
Banana farming in Central America transformed entire economies in the twentieth century.
