Industry Analysis on the Banana Industry

Give a description of the industry selected for this purpose using Porter’s Five Forces Model. All the information should come from secondary sources, cite their sources appropriately (following the APA standard).

The focus should be the entire banana industry, some mention about the Caribbean Islands should be included especially the island of St. Lucia .

Suggested Outline:

1.    NAICS code and description of the industry selected
2.    Country level information: current size of the industry in terms of revenues, evolution of the industry’s revenues in terms of historical figures (at least 5 years), number of competitors, segments of the industry, quantitative information about those segments.
3.    State level:  same as above but for the most likely state in which the student’s business might be developed.
4.    City level: same as above but for the city in which the student’s business might be developed.
5.    Porter’s Five Forces Model: applied to the city level. explain as much as possible about each one of the 5 forces. In regards to competitors, after giving general information about the specific competitors in the selected city, give as much information about the main competitors (based on the ones that make 50% of the market share, for example).
6.    Students need to follow the materials given to them in the first three weeks of the course:
6.1.    Porter’s Five Forces Model original paper. (SEE ATTACHED)
6.2.    Investopedia’s 12 application examples document.
