No need..muahahaha
From wiki
Most bananas grown worldwide are used for local consumption. In the
tropics, bananas, especially cooking bananas, represent a major
source of food, as well as a major source of income for smallholder
farmers. It is in the East African highlands that bananas reach
their greatest importance as a staple food crop. In countries such
as Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda per capita consumption has been
estimated at 450kg per year, the highest in the world. Ugandans use
the same word "matooke" to describe both banana and food.
In the past, the banana was a highly sustainable crop with a long
plantation life and stable yields year round. However with the
arrival of the Black Sigatoka fungus, banana production in eastern
Africa has fallen by over 40%. For example during the 1970s, Uganda
produced 15 to 20 tonnes of bananas per ha. Today production has
fallen to only 6 tonnes per ha.
The situation has started to improve as new disease resistant
varieties have been developed such as the FHIA-17 (known in Uganda
as the Kabana 3). These new varieties taste different from the
traditionally grown banana which has slowed their acceptance by
local farmers. However, by adding mulch and animal manure to the
soil around the base of the banana plant, these new varieties have
substantially increased yields in the areas where they have been
tried.
The Rockefeller Foundation has started trials for genetically
modified banana plants that are resistant to both Black Sigatoka,
and banana weevils. It is developing varieties specifically for
smallholder or subsistence farmers.
