Article linked above prompts me to believe the economics of picking, distribution and retailing, will create scenario where these newcomer varieties suit the industry, as opposed to appeal to palate of consumer.
If so, our traditional varieties will increasingly be only found in the form of own grown.
It has happened with other stuff. Seems an age since I last enjoyed an Ailsa Craig tomato or Ratte potato.
