India is the world's largest banana producer, contributing over 26% of global production. The crop is economically and culturally significant, cultivated mainly in southern and western states. It requires high nutrient levels, particularly nitrogen and potassium, and is a profitable agribusiness supporting millions. India's banana exports rise significantly, aided by government initiatives and support from institutions like NABARD. The banana stem, the pale inner core, is juiced or cooked in curries for digestion, blood sugar control, and detoxing. In Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on January 1, 2025, a raw sweet banana tree is cut down to harvest the fruit, and subsequently, after the raw banana fruit is picked, the trunk of the tree is cut to extract its white stem.

A young fisherman works on his fishing boat in the Port of Molfetta, Italy, on August 6, 2025. The main cause of the decline in fishing in Molfetta is a combination of economic and environmental factors. Rising fuel costs significantly impact the profitability of boats, which face increasingly high expenses to remain operational. Additionally, the reduction in fish stocks available in the sea makes it more difficult for fishermen to obtain the quantities necessary to sustain their activities. Furthermore, increasingly stringent regulations on the environment and sustainable fishing impose restrictions which, although necessary for the protection of the marine ecosystem, further complicate the management of the sector.
