How does global distribution and production of bananas embody principles seen in Von Thunen's model?
Bananas are only sold locally because they are highly perishable.

Banana plantations have replaced all other types of agriculture within tropical regions.
Banana cultivation has been discouraged due to its environmental impact on rainforests.
