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.

Thank you,
Ian

I would love to have these if you will send them. I have been looking for awhile. Thank you.

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.

Thank you

I would like a copy of these reports if available. Many Thanks, Tom

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.
