An American general food company known for its banana brand, Chiquita. Headquartered in New York. In 1899, the company was established in New Jersey as United Fruit Co., a merger between Boston Fruit Co. (established in 1885), a banana import and sales company, and a dozen affiliated companies of Minor Cooper Keith (1848-1927), who had successfully managed banana plantations in Costa Rica. Later, the company expanded its banana plantation management in Central and South America, while also moving into railroads, shipping, warehousing, insurance and other businesses, becoming a major colonial company with a near monopoly on the cultivation, import and sale of bananas in Central and South America.
