Wow at 75 cents per pound you're gonna get rich, you're netting 10 times what we get here.
Must be nice.

Sigatoka shouldn't be a problem for a small farmer like yourself.
The local farmers that have problems with sigatoka are usually either lazy or crazy, waiting too long to do the right thing or continuing to do the same wrong things but expecting better results.
Out of the 5 cultivars you've listed, you've got 1 that's resistant to panama disease race 1.
