The crop is not important commercially in the Mysore State even though there is considerable demand for the fruits, especially in the two principal cities of the State, Bangalore and Mysore. The demand for bananas is mostly met from supplies received from Salem and Trichinopoly Districts of the Madras Province. The main varieties imported into these cities are Poovan, Rasthali, Vamanakeli and Monthan. Poovan, Vamanakeli and Monthan are obtained mostly from Mohanur on the Cauvery bank in the Salem District and from Trichinopoly in the Trichinopoly District. Rosthali is got mostly from Thotliyam and Karur in the Trichinopoly District. The price of both fruit and vegetable varieties is comparatively high especially in the two cities. where the fruits of Chakkarakeli, Rasthali, Vamanakeli, Chenkadali and Monthan are in great demand.
