"The ministers told me at that time that it was five days from closure, five days from the British supermarkets being empty on their shelves."
And we'll hear from Liberia, a nation battered by war, now trying to rejoin the international food trade.
"Life is agriculture because from these things we are able to keep the children in school."
That's coming up soon, but we'll start here in a factory in the south of England. I'm, well, surrounded by bananas, bananas, 2 million of them. It's a lot certainly, but just a fraction of the 15 million tonnes of bananas that are shipped around the planet every year. I've just come through the loading bay into the ripening area. It's a long long tall room, maybe three storeys high, each one filled with climate-controlled rooms absolutely stacked with bananas. This is the Fyffes Fruit Factory - not easy to say - the Fyffes Fruit Factory in the county of Hampshire. And with me is the brand manager Paul Barrett. Paul, I called it a factory, but it's not that sort of a factory, is it? You can't call it a banana plant.
"You, well, you could if you want to do, I suppose. We call it a ripening and distribution centre. We just gently help to get it ready for the shelf."
Why do you have to do that?
"Well, to get the bananas from where they're grown, which essentially is the other side of the world, we need to cool them down during their ten-day voyage so that they don't ripen too much before they get to the UK."今天，我们将聚焦全球食品链，一探其优劣。
“当时官员告诉我，还有五天就要关闭，英国超市货架上将空空如也。”
我们也将聆听利比里亚的声音，这个战火纷飞的国家如今正试图重回国际食品贸易。
“农业就是生活，靠它我们才能保证孩子上得起学。”
这一切马上为您播出，但首先，我们来到了英格兰南部的一家工厂。我正置身于一片香蕉之中，200万公吨的香蕉。不用说这自然是个大数目，但与每年全球运输的1500万公吨相比，不过是九牛一毛。我刚从装货间来到成熟间。这个房间十分宽敞，大概有三层楼高，每一层都尽是装满香蕉的温控室。这里是Fyffes水果工厂——这名字真不好念——汉普郡的Fyffes水果工厂。我身边的是品牌经理保罗·巴雷特。保罗，我称这里是工厂，但事实上不算是，对不对？这儿不能称是香蕉工厂。
“呃，我觉得你如果想这么叫也可以。我们叫它成熟分销中心。我们只是帮忙为香蕉上架作准备。”
为什么得这样做呢？
“噢，香蕉基本上产自地球的另一端，要将它们从产地运来，我们得在十天的旅途中给它们降温，这样它们抵达英国时才不会熟透。”
