Is the price of bananas soon to skyrocket, I wonder?

How the HECK can they come from so far away and only cost me 39-cents per pound as it is?

It's very sophisticated high finance using Hedging strategies involving derivatives, such as options and futures contracts.

Hedging is also used as a risk management strategy to offset possible losses by taking an opposite position in a related asset.

The reduction in risk provided by hedging also typically results in a reduction in potential profits.
