I did some Googling and discovered that it was actually a trade barrier. EU was/is protectionist
about importing from former European colonies. Probably because the bananas there are still
controlled by EU companies and not by US companies like they are in the American sphere.
Anyway, I think that protectionism (high tariffs or quotas) can probably explain the difference
in price.
I think that I read somewhere that price of bananas went up in Eastern European countries
when they joined EU.
