Banana Republic

So it looks as though we really are a Banana Republic.

The humble banana, once the staple of many a household is now a "serious" luxury item. Outclassing other rival fruits such as the boring orange or apple, the banana has made it not only in terms of being a semi exotic fruit, but its also been hitting the headlines with its hold over the economy.

Look out global petrol prices, Australia has bananas.

Can a banana really be responsible for an increase in interest rates?

As for me, I am still puzzled as to why the cost of banana bread hasn't gone through the roof.
