Why is fruit/vegetables so cheap despite the time and resources needed to produce them?

Answer 1

If you want to grow 1 carrot, you’ll need a lot of preparation, time, and equipment compared to the output. If you want to grow 100.000 carrots, the amount of equipment, preparation and time doesn’t increase by the same amount. If you want to grow 1 million carrots, you’ll be churning out carrots at a rate that pushes price down.
