UFCo Annual Reports, 1900-1989, are available (copies)
We have copies of the rare United Fruit Company, United Brands and Chaquita Annual Reports from 1900 to 1989. These are very hard to find. The few copies that still exist are mostly scattered throughout a handful of major research libraries. To my knowledge, these annual reports are not available online, even through Google Books.
We support and encourage research on United Fruit and the banana industry in Latin America. For an electronic copy, please reply to this post. The forum will automatically send your post to my email account.

Ian,
I am searching for primary sources for my undergraduate thesis relating to the United Fruit company and its lobbying impact on public opinion and policy-making, especially with regards to Guatemala.
If you could e-mail me the Annual reports I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

I am working on a 100th anniversary book for Pan-American Life Insurance Company, one of whose founders was an official of United Fruit Company. His name is Crawford Ellis and I am seeking to verify his relationship to the company. Please send copies of reports from 1900 through 1920 so that I cna research his position with United Fruit.

Thank you! I would truly appreciate it if you could send copies of those annual reports. Also, I was wondering if you could possibly tell me where I could find the UFCo periodicals of the early 1900s?

Thanks for making these reports available. I would like to get a copy of the UFCO annual reports to assist with my research on Jamaica Welfare, an organization founded in 1937.

I commend you for all the work you have dedicated for this site. I graduated from El Zamorano and worked a few years for United Brands in the Philippines and Panama and would enjoy going over the annual reports. Thank you

Are these still available? Has anyone received copies recently? I posted a reply last year, but have not seen any activity. Ian - if you're still supporting copy request, please let me know - my grandfather worked for UFC and I'd appreciate reviewing the materials. Thank you. - JP Hammerton

Dear Sir,
Would be brilliant if you could provide me with the annual report of the United Fruit Company. I don't really need any reports past 1960 however if they are all in one document then i will take them all. I am currently writing a dissertation on their involvement in the tourist industry and hopefully will provide me with useful information.

Hi - writing a book about an English man (and his Eaton family) who moved to Jamaica in 1900 to work on a banana operation. Would like a copy of the early 1800-1930 annual reports. Thanks so much.

Hi,
I am currently doing an essay on the United Fruit Company, I live in the UK and none of the libraries near me have any primary sources from the Company so I would be really appreciative of the electronic copies of the annual reports.
