Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Europe’s Largest Banana Plantation – Or Is It?
A myth about Iceland is that it has Europe’s largest plantation for bananas. However, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations set the record straight by saying that the country does not produce the fruit commercially, and rather imports it from the Canary Islands, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica.
The largest producers of bananas in Europe are France, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. On the contrary, some of the largest agricultural products in Iceland include potatoes, green vegetables, barley, and oats. Although the country did try out producing bananas, the idea was infeasible as the produce took much more time than in other regions of the world.
