An Overview of the Latest Banana Growing Regions
Banana is a plant of the genus Musa in the family Musaceae, and is also one of the well-known tropical fruits. At present, bananas are also very popular in China's fruit market, but China is not actually the origin of bananas, so where are bananas mainly distributed in China? And where is the origin of bananas? Which countries in the world currently grow them? Now let's follow the editor to briefly learn about the growing regions of bananas.
1. The origin of bananas
The earliest place where bananas were grown was actually southeastern China and Southeast Asia, where the history of cultivation is very long. Later, during the BC period, they gradually spread to western Africa, and then from western Africa to the Central and South American region. Later, as bananas became more and more popular on the market, they were widely grown in the Americas. The United States grew bananas relatively late, but because of the excellent growing environment, combined with the development and progress of cultivation techniques, it soon surpassed the other banana growing regions.
2. Current banana producing regions of the world
Bananas are currently grown in most parts of the world, except in regions that are very cold all year round. Banana is a typical tropical fruit, generally suitable for growing in tropical or subtropical climates, especially in some tropical countries, where the banana growing area is quite extensive. Countries such as those in Asia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines are all currently major banana-growing countries in the world. Next are Panama, Brazil, Rwanda, Queensland in Australia, and other places, which are also very keen on growing bananas. And now even more countries have been added; generally, as long as the growing climate conditions are slightly suitable, bananas will be grown here and there, which also confirms the market position of bananas.
3. Main producing regions of bananas in China
Our country can also be said to be a major banana-growing country. With the progress and improvement of cultivation techniques, trial planting of bananas in many regions of our country has also been relatively successful. The main producing regions of bananas in our country are currently Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, China, Yunnan, Hainan, and other regions with relatively mild climates all year round. Next, places such as Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing also grow them, but the growing area is not very large. At the same time, banana cultivation in the rest of our country is relatively scattered, only enough for family use. Among them, the most famous banana producing regions in our country are Lingshan in Guangxi, Guangzhou in Guangdong, Kaohsiung in Taiwan, China, Putian in Fujian, and Sanya in Hainan.
4. Banana varieties
There are now more and more banana varieties, and the most famous among them is the canna. So the banana varieties now include Qiwei tall-stem Cavendish banana, Xianren banana, Williams banana, Dazhong Gaoba banana, Gaojiao Dundilei banana, Aijiao Dundilei banana, Guangdong Banana No. 1, Guangdong Banana No. 2, Saigon banana, Tianbao banana, Qitou plantain, Gaozhou dwarf banana, Guangxi dwarf banana, and Hekou Gaoba banana, etc. In our country, the main varieties are Guangdong Banana No. 1, Guangdong Banana No. 2, Saigon banana, Tianbao banana, Qitou plantain, and Guangxi dwarf banana.
Banana is a fruit that we are all relatively familiar with, and at the same time we all know what kind of environment it needs in order to flower and bear fruit, so when we grow bananas, the first thing we consider is whether the climate of the growing site meets the requirements for banana cultivation, and generally any site that can serve as a banana growing site has met the growing conditions.
