Bananas, an essential source of export revenue for many developing countries, have been an important source of disagreement in the Doha Round of trade talks. This study employs economic modeling to assess the implications of a deal on trade in bananas. The scenarios it uses focus on the role of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and a conclusion to the WTO Doha Round.

A more recent paper by Giovanni Anania also examines the implications of the recent bilateral accords between the EU and various Latin American countries. The paper, “The implications for bananas of the recent trade agreements between the EU and Andean and Central American countries”, is online here.
