le secteur de la banane or “the sector of the banana” is an odd way to say banana…i would assume just saying ‘banane’ is good enough and i bet that is actually how they would say it however in my research for this post ‘le secteur de la banane’ is what i came up with so that is what i put up. if anybody else has any insight on this please add your deux cents, thanks!
