Serious answer to this kind of proposal: Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands only have enough arable land to provide maybe half of the US demand for bananas. And that’s if you just plow over the existing agricultural land (that is already being used for fruit growing and winter nurseries).
Capitalist meritocracy, folks!
Bananas grow in Puerto Rico and Guam and Fig bananas grow in the Virgin Islands. So TECHNICALLY they do already build banana in Amerikkka.

Yeah, I know. I was just making a joke by being pedantic.
