What is the benefit or reason to why they have wax on them now??
Answers:
After the satisfactory production of Pacific Coast Eco-Bananas had been achieved, the product needed to be identified. The Pacific Coast Eco-Banana needed to look 'different' from other banana products so that buyers could easily recognise the fruit. To achieve this a distinctive trademark ? identification, or the 'Red Tip' was developed.
Pacific Coast Eco-Bananas are dipped in a bright red, green and blue food grade wax at the time of packing on the farm. This gives the ripened product a very distinctive and attractive appearance. Buyers fascinated by the look of the fruit are then able to access point-of-sale flyers and promotional material, which describes the ecological aspects of how the product is grown.

Beth answered this question first and best.
However, I wouldn't spend 3 times as much for a banana, I'd just as well eat something local then.
