Default How so many seeds from wholesalers?

This has been on the back of my mind for quite some time, maybe some one knows how it works. How do the big companies in India produce so many seeds for export. It's not like they are growing strictly Musa velutina which produces on its own through bisexual pollination.
A. The last of the female flowers gets pollinated by the first male flowers.
B. Insect or other natural pollinators do the work.
C. The work is done by hand, and they are rewarded by many seeds in one banana.
