I believe that we will see a marked decline in the Cavendish varietals because of Race 4. But the upside is that there are so many other delicious banana varieties that are currently excluded from the market place because of the commercially 'perfect' quality of the Cavendish. To me that's like living in a world of only Red Delicious apples. That being said, managing the fungal infections effectively continues to be an industry priority, as it should be.
