Yep.

Brazil jokers did and are doing same thing to their environmentalists and indigenous areas.

Corruption is rife.

The worst is when they use the term as a reason the USA isn't responsible. I remember when the migrant shyt was going on, I had at least two conversations where I was advocating for improving the situation in their own countries and the line came up,

"What do you expect American to do about some fukking banana republics, they aren't our responsibility."

wars fought over bananas , capitalism has no chill.

snippet :

The ultimate goal of the contracts for the companies was control of the banana trade from production to distribution. The companies would finance guerrilla fighters, presidential campaigns and governments.[9] According to Rivera and Carranza, the indirect participation of American companies in the country's armed conflicts worsened the situation.[9] The presence of more dangerous and modern weapons allowed more dangerous warfare among the factions.[9]

In British Honduras (modern-day Belize) the situation was slightly different. Despite the fact that the United Fruit Company was the sole exporter of bananas in British Honduras and the company was also manipulating the government, the country did not suffer the instability and armed conflicts its neighbors experienced.[10]
