Re: Price of Bananas
The price of plantains here has nearly doubled recently and is being blamed on the aftermath of storms Olga and Noel. Extra land is being planted up with new plants, but I suspect that by the time they fruit - normal production will be back on line. Our bananas are organic, but our banana marketing is a bit amateurish and we sadly don't reach the markets that we ought to. But this is the caribbean - so don't worry - be happy! AND the hurricane season is just getting underway......... Must get the coconuts cut down - some fell overnight as it was a bit windy, and broke some tiles on the roof of an outbuilding, and they were only small!
