The Great Fruit & Veg Adventure began its journey when Max and Gareth set off on two Triumph motorcycles from New Spitalfields Market in London in November 2016…. travelling some 18,000 kilometres, through 18 countries, meeting and greeting over 5,000 school children and experiencing first hand life on fresh produce farms throughout Africa.
2 men, 18 countries, 18,000 km, ONE Mission – meet, learn and educate about fresh produce. London to Africa – DONE!

Our Max MacGillivray talks about the mad mad world of bananas. How can a banana be cheaper for the consumer in the UK but more expensive for a consumer from the country it came from?! 😮 One word, retailers... 😐

So, this week we have a look at the issues of banana pricing in the UK...59p for 6 banana's compared to £1.50 for a can of energy drink...really...as well as a missed opportunity to promote fresh produce on the back of a very successful heart age check from BBC.
