Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Wow! That is awful. How much per pound are bananas in Australia?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Bananas currently jumped from some 0.99c per kilo [roughly 2 pounds] to $4.99 per kilo overnight - even though suppliers have some 3 months supply in cold storage. interesting how suddenly they are in "short supply". Ah .... but I guess THAT is the vagary of "supply and demand" economics....... Regards Jorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 That sounds like highway robbery. Just curious, How long does it take to regrow a crop from planting to picking?
