The annual harvest of banana and plantain (Musa spp.) is approximately 145 million tons worldwide. About 85% of
this global production comes from small plots and kitchen or backyard gardens from the developingworld, and only
15% goes to the export trade. Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana are the...
