As the graph shows, overall the EU has increased its banana consumption in the recent years. Ecuador, Colombia, and Costa Rica all have increased their exporting numbers, and ACP countries Cameroon and the Ivory Coast have significantly expanded their exporting to the EU. This was due to the dispute concerning tariffs on bananas that is described in the political determinants section, and not here. Not all countries have been so lucky though, as Honduras and Panama have both seen heavy decreases in their numbers in the recent years, most probably also as a result of those tariffs levied by the EU.
