US banana giant Chiquita Brands will resume operations in Panama and rehire thousands of workers fired after a crippling strike, the government of the Central American country said Friday. "The goal is to be operational no later than February 2026," said the government, adding Chiquita will invest some $30 million to resume production on 5,000 hectares of banana-growing land.
