A lot of the cost of fresh produce is the care needed to transport them, refrigerated warehousing to store them, and the huge amount of produce that goes bad before sold (something like 30%). So make them more durable for transport and not dependent on climate control for transport or storage and give them a long shelf life so they don’t spoil… you can cut the costs.
