I just read BANANAS by Peter Chapman and found it very informative. So many varieties of bananas but we don't get but a couple. Looking forward to reading this book and BANANA REPUBLIC by Eric Rawson.

I am very intrigued by the guy who runs the research center in Leuven, Belgium. Did Chapman discuss his research?

Oh my goodness, please supplement your reading with this book or look up Rony Swennen who runs the Laboratory of Tropical Crop Improvement in Belgium. Amazing guy and an amazing research group too.

I have your book and will read it next. I also have BANANA REPUBLIC, and BANANA MEN on my list to read. Very interesting fruit!
