Jamaica Producers (JP) Group says there will be a shortage of bananas from its St. Mary farm for the next several months.
The company said 41 per cent of banana and plantain crops were damaged following a direct hit from Tropical Storm Grace.
JP Group Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Hall says overall damage included toppled and uprooted trees, lost fruit and downed sections of the farm's overhead cable guying system.
The company has mobilised $130 million to support rehabilitation efforts.
