This diagram doesn't seem very informative. It ignores all but one worker group, and doesn't show any costs.

cf. USA Soy labor costs $37/acre, yields ~165 bushels/acre, sale price ~$8.70/ bushel = $1,435/acre. Laborer gets 2.6% farm gate.

I know the literature on banana value chains. If you find a good graphic please share

Please post links to literature! Sorry, it's easy to criticise, but % comparison to soy not good for banana workers!

I wonder how much interest in paid on debt over the course of production and distribution?

Oooft! I couldn't sleep if I had the debt some of my fellow farmers seem able to live with. Life's risky enough.

Read an interesting piece on the subject recently; debt at every stage of production/distribution = win for banks
