Isn't the fundamental problem that if you want that cheap banana you can now buy in every grocery store, crop management MUST be lazy? If you can't plant big monocultured fields, you can't put a cheap banana on the shelves of the supermarket in Iowa or Ireland. Unless these consumers are willing to pay more for that exotic, tropical fruit, grown thousands of miles away from their supermarket, GMO bananas will be pretty appealing to the big banana growing syndicates.
