Content: Once the WTO ruled in favor of Chiquita and other TNC’s, the Caribbean economy suffered greatly. Large transnational banana companies, such as Chiquita that control wages, prices in the global banana trade, are threats to small farmers. There is huge competition over being the port of choice for Chiquita. In 2014, New Orleans using huge state financial incentives, was able to secure Chiquita’s business after they decided to move their operations from Gulfport, MS. Chiquita shipped around 164,000TEU’s a year through Gulfport, the largest carrier of Gulfport. This a had huge effect on the state and local economy in MS; however, Chiquita has since returned its operations to Gulfport. Facebook Twitter Share
