> It's probably a cultural thing I think it got more to do with the fact that Bananas are a domestic fruit in Brazil but need to be imported to the US/Netherlands/Australia. Importing is more cost efficient at scale, i.e. importing dozens of tons of the same type of banana should be more affordable than importing the same tonnage of a dozen different banana types. By catering to one or two established tastes you also run less risk of being stuck with excess banana stocks of types that might end up not appealing to the local tastes, so people play it safe and just import the types which are known to sell well.
