Chiquita’s Involvement with Colombian Paramilitary Groups
Due to high levels of conflict and violence, Chiquita left Colombia in 1982 only to return in 1989. From 1989 to 2004, Chiquita provided financial support and even weapons to numerous paramilitary groups, hoping to protect its workers and operations. Despite the payments, groups like Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) committed numerous atrocities against civilians and Chiquita banana workers alike. Although Chiquita ceased payments to FARC and ELN when they were added to the US’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations list, it continued payments to a rogue group called the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) for two years after it was added to the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list, which was considered a federal crime in the US. When the Department of Justice pressed charges, Chiquita pled guilty and was given only a $25 million fine. No individual executives at Chiquita were charged with any crimes. Chiquita Raid on Tacamiche, Honduras
Dispute between Chiquita and Honduran villagers on the Tacamiche plantation in Honduras began in July of 1994 when Chiquita tried to relocate villagers off land to sell it to ranchers and developers.
