Re: Banana prices in the market
I remember talking to a guy who started a coffee company on the island of Java. They sold brewed coffee and had to have the beans shipped in even though they grow coffee on the island of Java. All the beans were shipped out to wholesalers and he had to have them shipped back. In Florida I've often wondered if the high price of citrus is because the demand is less since people can grow their own. Prices are probably higher in L.A. because everything is more expensive in L.A. A pair of Nike's cost only a few bucks to make so they sell them cheaper in poorer countries and jack up the prices in the U.S. because that is what people are willing to pay.
