Default Re: Growth in banana acreage

Corm division, mostly. Dole is starting to TC, but that takes a great deal longer.

You should recall, too, that 1000 hectares of established Gran Nains yeilds about 2000 hectares worth of pups, as well as what is needed to maintain the original 1000 ha, if they're divided correctly.
