The United Fruit Company in the early 1900s was a powerful American multinational corporation that dominated banana production and export in Central America. It played a significant role in the region's economy and politics, often influencing local governments and policies to protect its interests, which led to the term "banana republic" to describe countries heavily dependent on this industry. The company's practices, including land monopolization and labor exploitation, contributed to social and political unrest in the region. Its activities have been criticized for prioritizing corporate profits over the welfare of local communities.
