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

292 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?

Farm equipment is expensive.

But farm equipment is VERY efficient.

You don’t use expensive farm equipment on small scale farms (naturally).
