[blue3fleet]

Interesting process that lacked contains defects which are in the process of the fruit

[ebrugundes83]

Excuse me, and how much does Dole pay these hardworking people?

[MegaBhalz]

i also work with dole.. i think its part of the business

[Shonbi]

Japanese Dole grow magical banana that give you super banana powers. fo srs

[marmochip]

Dole is evil. Go organic.

[Illiasc]

@marmochip Do you realize how incredibly RARE organic bananas are? It's a sad but true thing, it is nearly impossible to find such unless you live in a tropical enough area or have a neighbor smart enough to grow some in a greenhouse.

@marmochip

FUCK YOU!  And I got five words for you cocksucker. DEE OH ELL EEH DOLE!

[chapulincito2]

I can't believe I worked on a banana plantation!

[mousebirdmama]

I noticed some comments about infertility and the use of NEMAGON pesticides. Can anyone clarify?

I have been having a problem with Dole banas, which is about 3 days after ripening they are turning to mush inside the yellow skin. I breed mousebirds, and a large portion of their diet is bananas, and have also noticed a sharp decrease in fertility in proven pairs, which also coincides with the problem with the Dole bananas

[SeikoPsycho]

[bkhau]

[boboviking]

[AdmiralUmptDumpt]

@boboviking

Fuck the movie Bananas! WE SUPPORT DOLE! 

[artshop1321]

DOLE banana is the best my mother work at the plant of dole banana plantation packing 91.. thank you

[ilenses]

Dont take it that serious...

First of all yes, they work maybe for 2 dollars per day which is sad, but in the same time they have still a better life thanks for dole as the other people in that area...

I think you should record some video of your way of doing it. If its really that much better I think people should know about it.

Or at least put a link into your profile to show your company. I would do that.

[Toadzor]

THEY GET 2 DOLLARS A DAY?

i wouldnt have given them 1. what do they need money for they live in a desert with bananatrees

[ilenses]

well I guess you wouldnt need money either, probably you live in a jungle as well LOL

[Toadzor]

no actually the main supply of trees where i live is pine and birch :O not so much jungle and i have a ton of money thats why i dont want to share it. :3 i love my monies too much.

[ilenses]

strange, for me it looked 5 minutes and 15 seconds... :)

[MATTYMOO4U]

Oh so running 500 kilometres of cable through a small farm is efficient to you. I don't know what country you are from or what drugs you are smoking, but if you came to North

Queensland Australia we would show you how to farm bananas.

[MATTYMOO4U]

I've never seen so much double-handling in my life. How can this method of harvest possibly be cost effective?

[Biggy123445]

everything is recycled...a huge amount of bananas can be harvested by only a few people...they wouldnt do it if it wasnt profitable but i understand what your saying like they make the process look too easy...well its prob true

[MATTYMOO4U]

I worked on banana's for ten years and we had a much more efficient system. It only takes one person to cut and hump a bunch. And we used a tractor and trailer to transport the fruit to the packing shed. But I guess when you're paying your workers $1.50 a day it must be profitable, especially when these enormous companies are drowning the market and dominating the price of fruit.

[Biggy123445]

So true my friend

[DamienDoe]

The cable way seems pretty efficient, and it's low-pollution. It also doesn't bruise the bananas.

As for the "double-handling"... It's just like an assembly line. "The workers focus on a small part of the overall whole, meaning that they do not require extensive training"

Also, you don't have to "re-tool" (so to speak) every few minutes for the next task.

[ilenses]

easy answer: think about the workers salary... nothing

[BanaanTV]

We developped an alternative version of bananagrowing. check out our video, named "Grow your own banana, BanaanTV", you should be able to find it somewhere on our channel. I hope you enjoy it ;-).

[BananasDotOrg]

Wonderful insight into what goes on behind the scenes to get bananas to the grocery stores! Thank you for sharing this video with us!

[OrganicBanana94011]
