I love going to our farmers market on the weekend and buying fresh produce like bananas. 
Same here!  I love Bananas too.  In some places around the world they're called Plantains.
I thought plantains were something different than a banana. Do they taste the same?
Yes indeed.  They're also grown in 135 countries.  They can also be used to make fiber!
Oh wow! What country produces the most? 
Well as of 2016 China took that number one spot.  India alongside of them accounted for almost 30% of total production world wide!
Do they import them  to America from China? 
Indeed they do.  They've been importing since the old scientific name of "Musa Sapientum" was used.
How can they make money on them, bananas cost me like $2 a week?

The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow in
DNA virus, the banana bunchy top virus. BBTV can infect species of the Musaceae family, which includes bananas, plantains, abaca, and more. The aphids also feed on "Heliconia" and flowering ginger, which are grown in the same regions as bananas and must be considered in management of the disease. It is best to establish a banana production area where these alternate hosts are not present. Any age plants can be infected by this virus, but some varieties of banana, including the Cavendish, are more susceptible
