it is the place for high quality scientific content that doesn't necessarily reference a peer-reviewed paper from the last 6 months.

There are many, many varieties of banana. Most are just aren't widely exported (or exported at all)
yeah, in my country we have more than 10 different types, some of them taste very sweet. Some are good on its own, some especially for fritter. But as you said, it's only for domsstic market, not for export.
On the contrary very hard to get Cavendish except in big shop/supermarket. I think most of canvendish are exported to the US and Europe.
