Also look into the banana industry. It is absurd the price that has been paid to make bananas as cheap as they are in the grocery store.

Bananas aren't a laborious crop. If labourers' salaries were dramatically improved, there'd be minimal retail price impact. The root cause is they grow and ship well from places with crap worker rights/alternative employment.
