"Mama, how come we never have bananas at home?"

Some people do not at all like bananas, but in Tunisia some are willing to go to larger extents to get their bananas. Bananas are in the top ten smuggled good exported from Algeria or Libya. They are much more expensive in Tunisia compared to other countries. Tunisia, Algeria,and Libya don’t produce bananas domestically. However in Tunisia they do cost about two times the price they do in Algeria. Causing people to cross borders to get their bananas and few people have the licence to do that. This is giving the Tunisian government a headache, putting bananas into the same category as smuggled drugs. In conclusion I ask you, how would you feel if those were your bananas?
