Irish fresh produce group Fyffes has benefited from increased banana consumption during the recession, a spokesperson for the group told just-food.


“The banana product is reasonably recession resistant. People consume as many bananas, if not more, during a recession,” the spokesperson told just-food.

The company said that “better than expected” conditions in Continental Europe and higher selling prices had allowed it to avoid some of the worse effects of the recession.
