Revival of GI-tagged Nanjangud Rasabale banana | Karnataka

If you are from Karnataka, you would have definitely heard about the famous banana variety called the Nanjangud rasabale. This variety of rasabale is unique to Nanjangud in Karnataka.
It was awarded the GI tag in 2006 for its thick pulp and distinct taste and aroma. Around 40km from Mysuru, in Kurahatti village one can spot huge plantations of the banana variety.
According to the Horticulture Department data, a total of 180 farmers cultivated rasabale on 100 hectares of land in 2006-07. By 2019-20, the number came down to 15, who were cultivating it on a mere 10 hectares.
One of the reasons was a deadly fungus attack. But with support from the government and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, the farmers in Nanjangud have developed their own techniques to get better yield. #banana #karnataka #nanjangud

Is it the same as ரஸ்தாளி (Rasthaali) in Tamil Nadu?

[@tvm73827]

No this is smaller and sweeter. Rasthaali is bigger with thin skin

[@KiranK-bi7ek]

It's not same...

ஈரோடு மாவட்டம் அதன் தொடக்க இடம் மைசூரு அரசர் இந்த பழத்தின் சுவையில் மயங்கியவர் இதை அவருக்காக விளைவிக்கப்பட்டது இது காவேரி நீர் பாயாத வரை குலை நோய் வரவில்லை சுவை மாறவில்லை
கிணற்று பாசனம் தந்த வரை மாறவில்லை
ஏலக்கி வாழையின் இடம் திண்டிவனம் எல்லாம் தமிழ்நாடுதான் புவிசார் குறியீடு கருநாடிற்கு சென்று விட்டது😅
