Which country is the world's largest producer of bananas?

A quick guess...India

Ecuador

Indian bananas ? When did you last see Indian bananas in your supermarkets?

'Tis true: India produces some 23% of the world's supply of bananas. The domestic market is so large that only a small amount gets exported. India's production is twice that of Ecuador's. An odd thing about this is that you never see bananas in any Indian restaurant (even those few that are truly Indian, not Bangladeshi ones calling themselves 'Indian'). Per contra in Ecuador, you can't avoid them. Every bar has a dish of 'chips' which are made from banana, not potato, on the counter.
