At one point, this included commercial production of bananas. In 1941, the first bananas in Iceland were produced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hvenær voru bananar fyrst ræktaðir á Íslandi? )〕 They have been produced since that time, about 100 clusters a year each about 5–20 kg, but are not currently sold.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eru bananar ræktaðir á Íslandi og seldir í stórum stíl til útlanda? )〕 In the wake of World War II, the combination of inexpensive geothermal power (which had recently become available) and high prices for imported fruit led to the construction of a number of greenhouses where bananas were produced commercially from 1945 to as late as 1958 or 1959. In 1960, the government removed import duties on fruit. As a consequence, domestically grown bananas were no longer able to compete with imported ones and soon disappeared from the market. Icelandic banana production was much slower due to low levels of sunlight; Icelandic bananas took two years to mature while it only takes a few months near the equator.〔Alex Baumhardt. ("The Mythical Banana Kingdom Of Iceland". ) Reykjavík Grapevine.〕 The urban myth according to which Iceland is currently Europe’s largest producer and/or exporter of bananas has been propagated in various books as well as in other media. It was mentioned, for example, in an episode of the BBC quiz programme QI,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Q.I. - Biggest Banana Republic in Europe )〕 and was mentioned on a forum connected with the show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QI Talk Forum )〕 However, according to FAO statistics, the largest European producer of bananas is (and has been for decades) Spain,〔http://faostat.fao.org/site/567/DesktopDefault.aspx?PageID=567 (see in particular the data for Europe as a whole and Spain)〕 with around 90 per cent of the total (although the production is mostly confined to the Canary Islands, which lie off the coast of Africa). Other banana-producing countries in Europe include Portugal, Greece and Italy. Consequently, although a small number of banana plants still exist in greenhouses and produce fruit every year, Iceland imports nearly all of the bananas consumed in the country, with imports now amounting to over 18 kg ''per capita'' ''per annum''.〔(Statistics Iceland ) (imports of bananas in 2009)〕 The Agricultural University of Iceland maintains the last such farm with 600-700 banana plants in its tropical greenhouse, which were received as donations from producers when they shut down (then the '' Horticultural College''). Bananas grown there are consumed by the students and staff and are not sold.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banana production in Iceland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
