This is how bananas get from plantations to supermarket shelves

As you know, bananas are one of the healthiest fruits, the consumption of which is extremely necessary for the human body. In addition to a huge amount of nutrients and beneficial substances, bananas are also incredibly tasty foods.

If you often buy these fruits, then you should find out how they get on the shelves of shops and supermarkets in your city.

Costa Rica is a unique country with stunning nature and endless plantations. The main export product of this country is bananas. Growers of these fruits say it takes 12 to 13 weeks for the fruit to take its shape.

After this period of time, plantation workers measure the size of each fruit to determine when exactly to pick them. It is worth noting that bananas are collected not quite ripe so that they do not spoil on the way to different countries of the world.

To prevent the bushes from being damaged, special boards with a soft surface are inserted between them. After this, the bushes go to a special factory, where the protective boards are removed from them, and then special certificates are glued to that part of the product that meets the standards.

After inspection, the fruits are washed and the remainder of the bush is processed into wood chips.

Then the bananas fall into the hands of the next workers, who again check their quality and cut them into bunches, each containing 5-7 fruits.

After being washed and cut, the bananas go to the next stage where they are weighed and given world standard stickers. Then the brushes are treated with a special substance and placed in banana boxes. Using special technology to minimize damage, the boxes can hold up to 40 brushes.

At the very end, the boxes are assembled into a form convenient for transportation, and soon they are placed in containers - and are already transported to different countries of the world!
