Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Chiquita Brands International Inc. is a producer and distributor of bananas and other produce, under a variety of subsidiary brand names, collectively known as Chiquita. Chiquita is the successor to the United Fruit Company and is the leading distributor of bananas in the United States. The company also owns a German produce distribution company, Atlanta AG, which it acquired in 2003. Chiquita was formerly controlled by Cincinnati businessman Carl H. Lindner, Jr., whose majority ownership of the company ended as a result of Chiquita Brands International exiting a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 19, 2002. The enterprise changed its name to Chiquita Brands and operates with that name to this day. The book reveals the link between Chiquita Brands International and the Colombian terrorist organizations but also scandals under the "United Fruit Company" umbrella.
