In order to secure access to land,banana moguls lobbied and bribed government officials in Central America,and even funded coups to ensure they had allies in power.In Honduras, Manuel Bonilla repaid the banana man who had financed his return to power with land concessions.By the 1930s, one company dominated the region: United Fruit,who owned over 40% of Guatemala’s arable land at one point.They cleared rainforest in Costa Rica,Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras,and Panama to build plantations,along with railroads, ports, and towns to house workers.
