how can fruits grown, harvested, transported on the other side of the world to my local grocery… can cost less than 2$. How is this possible?
In: Earth Science
My answer is, probably because fruits on the other side of the planet such as Thailand, guatemla, cuba etc are poor or lower income countries. So maybe that one organic apple your eating now costs you 1 dollar USD, will cost you 30 cents USD in Thailand. On top of the apples from cheaper countries, is along with bulk dealings. When you sell bulk it is always cheaper or it’s supposed to be. So when they sell cheap apples along in bulk it should always make it cheap, but it will be marked up a bit, so the store can make some money.
