Experts warn that climate change is threatening bananas, which are part of the diet of millions of people around the world

Bananas, which are part of the diet of millions of people around the world, are under threat from climate change and rapidly spreading diseases. Experts are warning that the banana crop may suffer huge losses in the coming years.

Banana is a fruit that is cultivated in most of the countries of the world and it fulfills the nutritional needs of millions of people.

Recently, a meeting of the World Banana Forum was held in Rome, Italy and economist Pascal Liu said that climate change is becoming a major threat to bananas. Bananas are the largest exporter of bananas in the world, but due to climate change their prices may skyrocket in the coming years.

According to experts, bananas can withstand changes in weather and do not spoil quickly, but the effects of global warming are now visible on them. High temperature does not suit bananas and it can kill them with the most dangerous Fusarium Wilt TR disease.

The disease has now spread to Australia, Asia and Africa and has also gained a foothold in South America. Once this disease spreads through the banana fields, it kills the trees one by one. It is difficult to say the end of this disease.

Pascal Liu further said that the resistance of Fusarium wilt TR bacteria is also high. It can also spread with strong winds. In such a situation it can spread rapidly. Apart from this disease, rising cost of fertilizers and transportation problems are also creating problems for banana growers.

If banana production does not increase then the price of banana may increase drastically in the coming years and the world will have to face a big problem.
