They worked in 5 small groups.
- Banana worker
- Plantation owners
- Shippers
- Importers / ripeners
- Shop / supermarkets
Each group considered their role, responsibilities and costs and decided how what portion of the product they were entitled to. They nominated a speaker and tried to persuade the class that they should receive their chosen amount - a portion of the recommended 30p .
After the first round bananas would have to be sold for 60 p each if everyone took the cut they requested.
We discussed other portions and considered what the fair portions would be in an ideal world.
We then looked at the real figures ...
1p - Banana worker
5p - Plantation owners
4p - Shippers
7p - Importers / ripeners
13p - Shop / supermarkets
