Where bananas are grown

Bananas are grown in countries of hot, humid tropical temperatures. The majority of bananas are grown within 20 degrees of the equator, this is because the weather is best suited here to grow bananas. For example these countries would be Africa, Latin America, Caribbean, Pacific etc. Only 20% of all bananas grown are exported most bananas are grown in the North America area.


I have added a map from Google maps which will give you a better visual of where bananas are grown across the world.
