Yes, We Have No Bananas? (Again!)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In February 2024, regulators in Australia and New Zealand granted approval for the commercial growth of a genetically modified banana. This approval was driven by the ever-expanding threat of a fungal disease that is endangering current banana production and trade, a crisis the industry faced over 50 years ago as well. This EBOT discusses the modern history of banana production, the U.S. market, and attempts to mitigate the effects and spread of the fungal disease.
