A new banana war -- this time for the second biggest seller of the fruit

The corporate world seems to be going bananas, about bananas.

A bidding war has broken out for America's Chiquita, the second biggest seller of the fruit.

Two Brazilian firms are now interested in Chiquita and have teamed up to launch a rival offer.

Dan Koeppel is the author of a book called "Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World".
