Its weak market. B. Its unreasonable price. C. Its small amount. D. Its inconvenient transport. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. There is potential market for the Mongee banana. B. Japanese have bee fans of eatablepeel bananas. C. Eatablepeel bananas are healthier than regular ones. D. The Mongee banana doesn’t receive enough attention. 35.
