Found this label today together with a DOLE - attached to the details - on bananas

Found on Ecuador bananas as

Found on Ecuador bananas as indicated by Dole label.Most labels are put on at the ripening depots.
Do we need to get into arguments.
Postage stamps are printed in UK for many countries but are classed by collector as of the country indicated,

Comparing postage stamps with

Comparing postage stamps with fruit stickers is like comparing banknotes with fruit wrappers. Postage stamps are the equivalent of money and their value is indicated in the national currency of the country indicated on the postage stamp.
Compare fruit labels with postage stamps is extremely incorrect, because fruit stickers and wrappers have zero cost.
The country on the fruit labels indicates only the origin of the fruit and nothing more. Labels and brands may belong to specific firms from quite another countries.
These companies buy bananas around the world and paste labels on them with their brands also indicating the country where the bananas originate from, because it is only of interest for the consumer.

I posted a rather brief and expedient comment on the incorrect definition of the country of origin of the label. But someone (not me) started the abstruse discussion about postage stamps here, in the comments section, and not in "Articles" section.

From my point of view it is not really important where we disuss what we like to discuss. It is only an option to use the forum & articles to discuss general things about the systematic of banana labels. We have now about 3100 comments. If we discuss this at the labels it is quite arbitrarily and probably we will not find the discussion later.

Later the day I will add in the forum "Adding Company & Brand Structure" my opinion, why I do not think it is a good idea to store company information at each of the 51 BEND IT labels but better do it at the one catalog entry.
