rising cost -> most expansive -> consumers turn to different fruits

  What’s cheaper than bananas? Like they are cheaper than potatoes for gods sake. Apples the next cheapest “fruit” are like 2$ a lb at the lowest

    It's all relative, what's cheap for you can be expansive for someone else, including the producer

    Perhaps bananas will turn out to be a Giffen good.

  I think they were specifically addressing the single sentence they cited. And i'd have to agree that the people actually planting, growing, and harvesting the bananas fit the word "producer" much more than either a boss or a corporation or whatever boogeyman you want to imagine. I'd also agree that those planters and harvesters are probably underpaid in comparison to the corporations and bosses. I'd also like if people's hard labor were rewarded closer to the actual value they produce. Does this make me a communist?

    If we want to be pedantic, the corporation is producing the export, coordinating _harvesters_ with transportation and final sale of the good — and paying the harvesters before they’ve made a cent. Pedantry and calling something “propaganda” out of nowhere does. If anything, by that line of thinking this “propaganda” enables us to pay the harvesters more money. Right? Hallelujah!

    You used words like "labor" and "value" in the same sentence, so you're sounding like a pinko at the very least. /s

According to modern economics, labor is one of the factors of production, the others being land, capital, and entrepreneurship.
