Bananas have been too cheap for decades.
- WhereIsTheTruth 3y agoI agree with that, I live in a country very very far away from where bananas are produced and it is among the cheapest fruits you can find, very weird when you think about it
- lotsofpulp 3y agoDistance is not the only parameter in the cost function of a food. Weight, reliability, predictability, spoil-ability, ease of growing, etc. all lend themselves to bananas being an “easy” food item, hence the supply is sufficient to keep prices low.
