Nice editing job but I notice that you removed the paragraph explaining that Cavendish only makes up about 10 of world production and that its extinction would only affect world trade not production for local consumption Any particular reason Assuming it s true I think that this fact contributes a lot to the extinction discussion and would be worth reinstating Overall the combination of the facts that bananas are such a huge crop and staple starch for so many people and the fact that the viability of a leading variety is under threat is quite alarming until you understand that the extinction panic only relates to the export trade
