BREAKING DOWN 'Asset Valuation Reserve - AVR' Usually the asset reserve consists of two components, a default component and an equity component. The default component protects future credit related losses, and includes arrangements for corporate debt securities, preferred stock, mortgage backed securities, farm, commercial and residential mortgages.
Bananas and pineapples are grown in countries of the tropics-Africa, Latin America, Caribbean, Pacific etc. Many countries produce bananas as a staple food and only around 20% of all bananas that are produced are actually exported.
In peak season between March and July, this tropical fruit evokes the 50th state in the Union for many. Itâs a strange notion considering that, of the 300 billion pineapples farmed worldwide, only 400 million come from Hawaii.
