How does fresh produce get cheaper the bigger the production scale?

294 viewsEconomicsOther

Supermarkets can sell 6 ripe tomatoes for £1 or a pineapple from another country for £1, if you tried to grow those at home (if you even had the correct climate) it would cost a lot more than that. for the location, soil, water, feed, making sure it’s got no pests, etc. How do supermarkets charge so little for stuff that requires so much to mass produce?

its kinda wild how much cheaper things get when u make em in bulk. its like the more tomatoes you grow the less each one costs. big farms have mad resources they buy in totes so they pay less per tomato then we would for a few. plus they got ways to deal with pests and all that that we don’t. yet, home grown stuff does taste the best tho so worth it for the experience
