This is very comforting to regions that are specialized in high-cost, high-margin, high-technology products, and not very comforting to regions that specialize in low-cost, low-margin, low-technology products. The countries growing the bananas that go into your smoothies have specialized in growing bananas, but they aren't making any money from it.
Low capital banana growers would do far worse if they tried to compete by growing grain crops in the region as they have to contend with high capital mechanized and chemical using operations with massively better yield and closer markets.
Specialization is at least a local maximia to them even if there are other options better in the long term. Take say West Virgina's coal mining vs a more diversified industry.
If they made great smoothies (in addition to growing bananas), then they wouldn’t be leaving that market to blond Californian influencers living in Bali.
This happened for bananas going into the smoothies, rubber going into tires (at the time), coffee going into lattés, oil going into tires (at a later time), etc
