1930's Banana Cultivation Video

1930's Banana Cultivation Video | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Video of the day.  Take a step back in time, almost a century, with this classic video of the banana trade in British Honduras.  It follows the crop from Belize to Northern Europe.  Interesting, to say the least.


"Clearing forest for banana plantation.  Cultivation (including air spraying of crops) and harvesting and transportation of the crop to the port for export to Europe.  Loading of ocean freighters and ocean voyage (including stop at Kingston, Jamaica) and unloading at Rotterdam."
