Bananas: An Endangered Staple

PR Campaign

Thursday 5th November, 2026

Fairtrade published “Bananas: An Endangered Staple”, research showing how climate shocks and unfair trading practices are putting banana growers under pressure. It paired growers’ accounts with data on price shortfalls and falling yields, then called for a UK law to address harmful supply-chain practices.

Why it worked: It fused hard stats (price gaps, yield drops) with frontline voices and a specific legislative ask, turning a commodity issue into timely policy news.

The lesson: Consider pairing fresh quantified harm with human testimony and a concrete regulatory fix; worth trying during a live policy window.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.
