why are bananas so cheap

It might be different for some places but bananas are like 79 cents a bunch, and when you compare that to other fruits like apples and oranges, theyre a good deal

One contributing factor is that they transport well. I wrote a big college paper on the energy required to grow and transport Chiquita bananas from growth to TX supermarket and it was under 1 cent / banana. A lot of fruit is crazy expensive to pick / store / transport well.
