> Producers are suffering from rising costs of energy and labour

This is propaganda.

Labor is the producers. Paying them more is good for them, not suffering. People

According to modern economics, labor is one of the factors of production, the others being land, capital, and entrepreneurship.

rising cost -> most expansive -> consumers turn to different fruits

What’s cheaper than bananas? Like they are cheaper than potatoes for gods sake. Apples the next cheapest “fruit” are like 2$ a lb at the lowest

It's all relative, what's cheap for you can be expansive for someone else, including the producer

Perhaps bananas will turn out to be a Giffen good.
