Expect a banana shortage if dockworkers go on strike

If U.S. dockworkers go on strike at the end of the month, there will be a shortage of bananas at grocery stores.

Bananas are the most consumed fresh fruit in the U.S., and about two-thirds of the bananas sold are unloaded at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports.

Port Wilmington, Delaware, is a major Chiquita and Dole distribution hub and handles grapes, clementines, pears, and kiwi worldwide.
