It's always great when the GM gets some love.
An interesting thing about the GM and the FHIA bananas is that in local markets across the Americas they both sell at a discount to the Cavendish. In fact there is a song written about the FHIA bananas which states it's better to eat an FHIA banana than it is to starve.
Here's another interesting thing about the GM and the Hawaiian export market. For half a century Hawaii was exporting the Cavendish but eventually couldn't compete with the cheaper GM coming out of the Caribbean. The Cavendish were costly to ship and needed more care than the thick skinned GM did. Even though they preferred the higher quality of the Cavendish they switched to GM in order to lower costs.
