There's an African folk song that states "it's better to eat an FHIA banana than to starve"
The FHIA-03 is not even close to the quality of a Bluggoe and the only people that might think they are similar are people that have never tasted both of them.
FHIA info is typical American propaganda, they are promoting a banana that the vast majority of people do not want to eat.
The FHIA-21 brochure is even funnier.
"The hybrid FHIA-21, developed in 1987, is a French type plantain."
Everyone that has eaten an FHIA-21 knows it's not a plantain, but I'm sure there's someone in the world that's never eaten one that might believe it's a plantain.

Is the quality of FHIA hybrids so bad? They are often talked about with relatively high regard like FHIA-1 and 2 and SH-3640 in the US amongst hobby and backyard growers. Having the opportunity to grow and eat varieties from all over the world, the commercial offerings must pale in comparison. Like how people react to grocery store bananas after growing their own. I do know that all of the FHIA cultivars are bred to be commercial varieties, and usually, when something is bred for commercial production, significant sacrifices are made in taste, texture, and complexity.
