Why can't bananas be used as futures?
Because it is not easy to establish a standard contract.

Futures is a standard contract, and any commodity that is difficult to establish a standard contract cannot become a variety of futures trading. It is more difficult to do banana futures, because the texture is not well defined, and the tastes of fruits in different places are different, and everyone's tastes are different. What is the standard? Not suitable for preservation. The texture of newly picked fruits is different from that of fruits stored for a period of time, so it is impossible to formulate a unified contract standard.

Commodity futures refer to futures contracts with physical goods as the subject matter. China has no banana futures. Bananas belong to the family Musaceae and are native to Southeast Asia. China is one of the ancient countries that grow bananas in the world. Most of the main banana varieties in the world are from China, and bananas are distributed in the eastern and western hemispheres.
