Which regions are banana-growing areas mainly distributed in?
Banana is a plant of the genus Musa in the family Musaceae, and it is also one of the famous tropical fruits. At present, bananas are also very popular in China's fruit market, but in fact China is not the place of origin of bananas, so where are bananas mainly distributed in China? And where is the place of origin of bananas? Which countries in the world currently grow them? Now let's follow the editor to briefly learn about the growing origins of bananas.
1. The place of 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, around BC, they gradually spread to western Africa, and then from western Africa to Central and South America. Later, as bananas became more and more popular in the market, they were widely grown in the Americas. The United States grew bananas relatively late, but because the growing environment was excellent, and with the development and progress of cultivation techniques, it quickly surpassed the other banana-growing areas.
2. Current banana-producing areas in the world
Bananas are currently grown in most parts of the world, except in areas 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 vast. Countries such as those in Asia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines are all major banana-growing countries in the world today. 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 areas of bananas in China
China can also be called a major banana-growing country. With the progress and improvement of cultivation techniques, trial planting of bananas in many regions of China has also been relatively successful. At present, the main producing areas of bananas in China are mainly regions with mild climates all year round, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, China, Yunnan, and Hainan. Next, places such as Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing also grow them, but the growing area is not very large. At the same time, banana growing in the rest of China is relatively scattered and can only supply family use. Among them, the most famous banana-producing areas in China 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 Qiwai high-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 China, 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 all of us are relatively familiar with, and we also all know in what kind of environment it can bloom and bear fruit, so when we grow bananas, the first thing we consider is whether the climate of the growing area meets the requirements for banana cultivation, and generally the places that can serve as banana-growing areas also meet the growing conditions.
