The climate of Florida supports the growing of Oranges and Bananas but inside all the grocery stores the Oranges and Bananas come from clear across the country, how does this logistically make sense?

AFAIK the only US state in which bananas can grow is Hawaii and they don’t grow that many so they are mostly eaten locally.
Bananas are grown in Southern California commercially. Not at huge scale but del monte still grows and sells them as far as I know.
I grow bananas in my yard, and know several other people who do also grow bananas. Not commercially but I would think anyplace that can grow sugarcane can grow bananas.
And there are some banana farms in Florida.
I grow Red Cuban bananas, not Cavendish.
