where do bananas grow

Bananas grow primarily in humid, tropical regions with high temperatures and rainfall. Their native origins trace back to Southeast Asia, particularly the Malay Archipelago, including areas like Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. From there, bananas spread to tropical regions of India, northern Australia, Africa, and Central and South America. Today, bananas are cultivated in many tropical countries around the world, including major producers like India, China, Indonesia, Brazil, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Colombia. They thrive in warm, frost-free climates typically found near the equator and are grown commercially in regions such as Central and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and some subtropical areas like southern China and parts of the United States (Hawaii, Puerto Rico, California) thanks to modern agricultural techniques
