  Re: Suran in Australia

Dear Paul,

I wish you luck in your search for 'suran' in Australia, keep us informed as
to if you manage to locate some! My thoughts are that you probably will
NOT find it for sale in Australia, the import laws on all plants are too
strict, and I don`t believe that there is a large population of folk from S.
India or Sri Lanka who are or seem to be the ones our markets in the USA
cater to, I am told that the fresh tubers sometimes seen for sale here are
grown in and imported from Jamaica, lots of other speciality veggies are
also imported from there for sale to the local W.I. and Latin populations.
There are frozen suran and cans of suran for sale here, so perhaps if there
was a demand for suran in Australia these forms would suffice and bypass the
import laws!

Cheers,

Julius
