According  to spokesmen of  both companies the aim of the merger is to  save over 40 million dollars in costs. Apart from bananas the new company also  deals with pineapples and other fruits. It will have a total of over 32,000 employees. Fyffes was founded in  1929 and rose to become Europe's largest importer of bananas. Chiquita dates back  to the end of the 19th century and helped fruit become popular  in America. For customers around the world there will, however, be no  change, as the two companies will still market their own brands. Some food experts criticize  the deal, saying that both companies rely too much on only one  type of banana, the Cavendish. This leaves the industry prone to diseases that  could hit the banana plantations in South America and Africa. Another worry is  that the new company might dictate and lower banana prices, thus reducing income for  banana farmers.
