PorkBean's United Fruit Company

The United Fruit Company was an American corporation that monopolized the trading of tropical fruits, mainly bananas, in Central and Latin America during the first half of the 20th century. By the 1930s, the Company controlled more than 3.5 million acres of land in the Caribbean Lowlands, granting it enormous power and influence over the local governments. Officials were frequently bribed or deposed in order to procure favorable tax legislation for the Company, and the Central Intelligence Agency on several occasions intervened on behalf of United Fruit to topple democratically elected governments. As the Company tightened its grip on the Carribbean (controlling radio, railways, the postal service), Latin American journalists often referred to it as El Pulpo - ''The Octopus''.
