Banana trade in the U.S.

Consumers in the United States love bananas. The country was the biggest importer of bananas by a wide margin, receiving around 2.8 billion U.S. dollars worth of the fruit in 2021. Its main partner in the banana trade was Guatemala, from which it received around 1.1 billion dollars worth of bananas in 2021.

Banana consumption

Bananas were the most consumed fruit in the United States in 2021. Popularity can, in part, explain the stability of banana prices. Over the last 18 years, average per capita consumption was approximately 26.4 pounds per year, with a high of 28.54 pounds in 2018. Banana production has largely kept pace with consumption, increasing about 11 percent in the last six years.
