Answer:
The dependence comes from the fact that the highest consumers of oil are not the highest producers.
Explanation:
The Middle East, as a region, has been blessed with reserves of oil. This is the natural resource for which there is the highest demand on the global market, so having it means that it brings a lot of benefits. The most obvious benefit is a lot of profit, but there is also the political influence because of the dependence of other countries on the resource.
The huge amount of profit complemented with having all major economies in the world (except two) highly dependent on oil from the Middle Eastern countries has led to a lot of looking through fingers situations. Almost all of the countries in this region tend to be among the worst when it comes to the violation of human rights, suppression, dictatorship, but all other countries turn their heads and there is no reaction because of how dependent they are on their oil. Also, the leaders of these countries are spreading out their influence in other countries by buying a lot of businesses, buying actions, sports clubs, or even finance political parties in order to make a stronghold, and so far they do it to great effect.

The farmers in Central America have been using pesticides extensively in the past several decades. While everyone would prefer that the bananas, as well as the other fruits, be all natural, organic, it is simply not practical and that type of production will result in deficit of the product on the market. The reason why the pesticides are used so much is so that the tree is not attacked by diseases and pests and the bananas to get destroyed.
The usage of pesticides actually contributes to the tree growing taller and being healthier, as the diseases and pests are mostly eliminated. The bananas themselves are too larger and in higher quantity, so the demand on the market is largely satisfied.
