Bananas!

One of the strangest and most convoluted regimes in international trade is the rules for bananas. In essence, Europr encourags bananas from Africa and some Caribbean Islands, and USA encourages bananas from South America and some different Caribbean Islands.

This issue is so tid up with colonialism and keeping black countries under control that the stakes are high and the battles intense. Here comes and article that suggests the topic could break up the WTO. Sounds good to me.
