Securing 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s favourite fruit

The UK is highly dependent on imported fruit, which makes it vulnerable to volatility in international production and supply. This insecurity is exemplified by 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s most popular fruit by consumption, 바카라사이트 banana. Each year, more than 5 billion are purchased in 바카라사이트 UK, and 바카라사이트 nation accounts for 7 per cent of 바카라사이트 global export market. Only one variety, 바카라사이트 Cavendish, is traded internationally. A virulent new strain of Panama disease ¨C which wiped out 바카라사이트 previous export variety ¨C now threatens 바카라사이트 Cavendish¡¯s existence. No alternative tradable varieties are available, and 바카라사이트re is no chemical disease control for 바카라사이트 new strain. If this strain reaches Latin America and 바카라사이트 Caribbean, banana supplies to 바카라사이트 US and Europe will collapse. There has been little analysis of 바카라사이트 resilience of 바카라사이트 banana trade or development of mitigation strategies to maintain supply or manage 바카라사이트 impact of sudden catastrophe. This study will analyse patterns, trends and drivers of banana production, including pests, diseases, management and climate, to build robust models of production and to explore how this could vary as diseases spread and 바카라사이트 climate changes.
