"Bananas are the world’s fourth most important crop, after rice, wheat and maize, and make a major contribution to food security. However, in most banana producing countries, production is exclusively for the domestic and occasionally regional markets, with only 20% of global production being traded internationally. According to the data given in the report, EU consumers bought more than 5.4 million tonnes of bananas in 2008. The EU imported almost 90% of the bananas it consumed (72.5% from Latin America and 17% from African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries). I am therefore convinced of the importance of this agreement and confirm my vote in favour of the agreement reached."@en1
