Talking of bananas I read some time back that SA exports a huge amount of fruit to the UK. But it was the bananas that interested me. They are apparently picked green - loaded into the container ships - and one or two days before landing at Southhampton or wherever, a gas is pumped into the hold which immediately ripens them before off-loading.
