Product Description

Ubiquitous in ever supermarket & corner shop, it is hard to imagine a world without bananas. But it was once so!

Britain’s love affair with the humble banana is as much the story of Elders & Fyffes, a company set up to import the golden fruit into the United Kingdom.

Originally, British imports were of the small Cavendish banana from the Canaries but the British Government was keen to see some trade from the West Indies & in 1901 Elders & Fyffes was formed to import & distribute bananas.

The first ships arrived in 1902 & the company grew & expanded. During both world wars, the fleet of Elders & Fyffes served their country as armed merchant cruisers.
