Banana prices in the market
can someone explain to me why bananas cost more in the markets in Los Angeles than they do in Seattle? The bananas are ship from central America to the port of Los Angeles and are then trucked to Seattle. Since there are additional traansportation costs involved why do the same chains of markets sell them for less there? higher transportation costs are always cited as the reason for higher food costs in Hawaii. why does the same logic not apply here?
