Banana is one of the most consumed fruits in India and many countries of the world. Bananas are a part of many people's regular diet, but bananas are likely to disappear from markets and homes in the near future. Some experts have expressed such apprehension. The banana supply chain is currently in great danger due to rapidly spreading diseases and climate change. Climate change is indeed becoming a major threat to bananas.
banana is people's favorite
According to the information, a meeting of the World Banana Forum was held in Rome, Italy on Tuesday to solve the challenges related to the fruit. The World Banana Forum is a group of the United Nations. The platform brings together stakeholders such as retailers, producing countries, exporters and research institutes. Experts told the forum that banana is people's favorite and the most exported fruit in the world but its price will increase due to climate change. Experts acknowledged that the arrival of goods was delayed due to last week's storm. Due to this the British market faced a shortage of bananas. Such things can be seen in other parts of the world also.
Bananas do not spoil easily but are affected by global warming
Experts say that banana has the power to deal with adverse weather challenges. It does not spoil quickly but global warming is also affecting banana. Bananas are sensitive to rising temperatures which can spread one of the most dangerous fungi, Fusarium wilt TR4. It has spread to Australia, Asia and Africa and is now spreading to South America. Once the disease takes hold in the plantation, it destroys the trees one by one and eradication becomes challenging.
Difficulties increased for banana growers
Banana growers face challenges ranging from rising fertilizer costs, energy and transportation issues to staff shortages. If there is no major increase in supply, banana prices will remain relatively high in the coming years. Along with this, experts believe that if attention is not paid to this, we may have to face a big problem.
