"Bananas + Reefers + Fruit." I believe the reefers in question are this kind. I was inspired to Google by Will the Banana Split?, by Bob Carty.

Although crops have been increasing in Ecuador and banana prices decreasing (around USD4.50-5.20 paid to the growers for the fruit only) with FOB prices at around USD6.00-6.70 for the box of about 19 kg. net, freight rates went up considerably during the week, increasing almost every day due to the strong chartering activity in Chile and Argentina. That's bullshit.
