I like bananas, but it's very difficult to cultivate bananas here.

Also there is no way the government will authorize a steel mill in the middle of a city with a few million people, and I need steel. (And there is no iron ore nor coal nearby.)

So here is the deal. We sell soy beams, and they sell us bananas, steel and cellphones.
