If I still lived in Illinois where there is no way I could grow my own, I would pay $2 a pound, maybe more to have them on occasion. (I am in Florida and still would..Other varieties as well.) Florida / Caribbean won't work, with the hurricanes and all. No way to have a reliable source... Great idea for someone with the capital and connections to think about.
After reading your comment I found a company out of Miami called "Miami Fruit". They sell various locally grown fruit over the Internet at $100 to $200 for a 15lb box delivered by post. That's expensive!
