Correct me if I'm wrong but arent these animals just fueling the fire of price reduction? Females create a hedge against price reduction due to the fact that they can only be bred to one other animal to reproduce the desirable gene. Males that make 95%+ males can quickly spread the banana gene with no females to slow things down. I would expect any other codom to hold its price much better because you have about a 50% chance of hitting females. The male maker bananas due to the gene drastically reproducing in a short time span are blowing the supply out the roof. Because they produce almost all males that attain breeding size in less then one year this is also why you see the price drastically reduce each year instead of every 2-3 years. The only thing that is somewhat stablizing the price of bananas is the overwhelming demand for them because people like them.
