Tano plantation is not just bananas, it sells 

wool from the sheep raised there. It is 3 acres 

and takes up about 1/6 of the mountain.

Since machinery is not very helpful in the 

production of bananas, the only machinery 

used is to feed the sheep and shave them. 

Fertilizers are used for the production of 

bananas, however.

Since Tano plantation is under control 

of the Tano family, the family in 

charge of the southern oligarchy in 

Coconut, it uses government funds to 

pay for seeds and other expenses, 

however, it is not subsidized because 

the government has spent too much 

money on military and industrial 

production.

Most bananas stay local or within the eastern 

Pacific, while the wool produced is sold to 

countries all over the world. It does however 

have fierce competition in this business, New 

Zealand. The sheep are rarely used for meat 

production, since the people of Coconut greatly 

enjoy seafood more than land animals. Also, a 

pescetarian diet is common among the people 

of coconut.

The Tano plantation sells bananas and 

wool to Japan and the Philippines. 

Some wool is transported to Russia and 

South Korea. Exotic fish is very 

valuable to European countries willing 

to buy them. 

Since Farms are barely subsidized by the 

government, they try to mass produce their 

product in compensation of the small paycheck. 

This, however, causes overproduction and 

drives the price of the food down, making the 

farming industry more difficult. The Abney party 

in northern Coconut is looking to help subsidize 

crops in the area so that this problem does not 

occur as much.

Tano Plantation lies in the horticulture 

ring of the Von Thunen model, even 

though it has some sheep, this is 

because bananas have a high 

perishability   and are not transported 

outside of the country as much as the 

wool is.

A very small amount of the country's economy 

is based off of agriculture. Most agriculture in 

Coconut is exotic fish farms and fishing boats. 

The Tano and Abney parties do not focus much 

on agriculture, but rather industrialization and 

international trade
