The Cavendish banana is a popular variety of banana known for its sweet flavor and creamy texture. It is the most widely cultivated banana in the world, making up about 47% of global banana production. This variety is typically harvested while still green and ripens to a bright yellow color. Cavendish bananas are primarily grown in tropical regions, with major producers including Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Colombia. They are often exported to various countries, making them a staple fruit in many households. However, the Cavendish faces threats from diseases like Panama disease, which could impact its future availability.
