- Create 16y agoGiven the industrialization of modern agriculture, and more importantly what subsidies do (ie. CAP in EU, corn in USA) mean, that labor has almost no impact on pear production [and many other, for that matter]. The funny part of globalization, is that costs, values and price become decoupled. Economically this can be made to make sense, but in many cases, they cannot work by common sense.
