A Brief History of Bananas. A Brief History. Bananas were originally found in South East Asia, mainly in India. They were brought west by Arab conquerors in 327 B.C. and moved from Asia Minor to Africa and finally carried to the New World by the first explorers and missionaries to the Caribbean. The mass production of bananas started in 1834 and really started exploding in the late 1880âs. 1 Before the 1870âs most of the land that bananas were grown on in the Caribbean had been previously used to grow sugar.
There is also evidence of domestication in Africa dating from about the 6th century. Today, wild bananas can be found in New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Domestic banana growing now extends to over 107 countries with the top producers being India, China, Philippines, Brazil, Ecuador and Indonesia.ananas have been domesticated for thousands of years and are native to south-east Asia. Recent evidence suggests they were first domesticated in Papua New Guinea sometime around 5000-8000 BC.
