For four weeks Sarvan Singh has salvaged what fruit he can from the floor of his banana plantation in the Tweed Valley. Highly destructive winds ripped through his 8-hectare farm on the Cudgen plateau last month, knocking plants with full bunches to the ground. It has left him without an income for the next year. Mr Singh said the winds were too much for half of his 20,000 trees, which he had tied and propped up. He said he had lost about 90 per cent of his production.
