When you say you haven't found "ready" access to those, do you mean they exist but in particular scientific journals? Or you haven't been able to find them at all?
I'm saying this info is essential to research of the different banana varieties. Not only does it gives the nutritional values for consumer consumption; the desirability & merchantability of the variety type; it also gives the producer/grower info for nutrient/mineral replacement (fertilizer) needed for production & cost. ...SO, I believe, (not completely sure), the info is available from the different research programs/groups. I have not found and do not know of a "Report" summarizing the data by banana variety.

The nutritional info given in the USDA SR28 data is for products commonly available to the consumer and sponsored by the BIG producer/manufacturers: bananas - Dole, Chiquita, & Del Monte: (aka - cavendish types ???)
