  Chiquita Brands International, as the  United Fruit Company  (its previous name), started its operations in Panama in  1896 . This was when Panama was still part of Colombia.   However, Chiquita has recently faced difficulties in Panama, including a labor strike and significant layoffs.  As of June 2025, the company announced it would be laying off all remaining staff in Panama. This has led to concerns about potential banana shortages and higher prices, especially in the US.   While Chiquita had a very long history of operating in Panama (since 1896), its presence is now dramatically reduced due to the recent labor issues.  

  Wheat, beans and cassava are among the crops that could lose up to half of their "best or optimally suitable” growing land by 2100 due to climate change, the FAO has warned. Plantain and coffee have also been identified by the UN agency as at risk of losing significant amounts of suitable land. The concern arises from the latest data presented by the FAO's updated ABC-Map geospatial app, which includes a new indicator based on data from a study Finres, a French fintech start-up. Under commission by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and with funding from the French Development Agency (AFD), Finres penned a study that found the five crops – wheat, coffee, beans, cassava, and plantain – are already “losing optimal growing conditions”.   Coffee production within major coffee-growing regions could “decline sharply” by 2100, the study suggested. Beans and wheat are also expected to suffer “significant losses”, particularly in North America and Europe....

  Artificial sweeteners rewrote the rules for sugar. Zero-calorie fat is next in line. But one company has cornered the supply, leaving others scrambling. At the center of the storm is EPG (esterified propoxylated glycerol), a novel ingredient that mimics fat in taste, texture, and performance… but delivers a fraction of the calories. Here’s why it matters: 🔹 0.7 kcal/g vs. 9 kcal/g in traditional fat (a 92% calorie reduction) 🔹 Works in frying, baking, and chocolate (no tradeoffs in texture or taste) 🔹 No GI issues or vitamin malabsorption (even at high doses) It’s the first fat replacer that actually works, both functionally and commercially. That’s why the bet behind David (Peter Rahal’s new company) is so bold. They didn’t just use EPG in their protein bars. They bought the entire company that makes it. And then, according to a lawsuit filed in June, they cut off everyone else. Startups that had built R&D, manufacturing, and distribution around EPG were left scrambling. ...

India: Mangoes It’s probably not a huge surprise that India takes the top spot on the list of the world’s biggest mango producers — the tropical fruit is native to the region and accounts for  50%  of the world supply.  But what you might not know is that mangoes from India only became an export available to the U.S. in the late aughts, when President George W. Bush reportedly allowed the import in exchange for India allowing  Harley-Davidson motorcycles into the South Asian country.  Still, India is not a top mango provider to the U.S., which instead imports most of its product from  Mexico, Peru, and Brazil .  Of the approximately 1,500 varieties of mangoes grown in India, the most popular — home and abroad — is the Alphonso, which is also known as the “ King of Mangoes. ” Vietnam: Pepper Black peppercorns are one of the most essential spices for any household pantry, and Vietnam is to thank for  nearly half  of the world’s output.  Th...
