The answer to you question probably has something to do with supply and demand at the local level. At the terminal market in LA, bananas sell for $14-15/box. At the terminal in Seattle, bananas sell for $20-22/box.

I noticed in Puerto Rican supermarkets bananas wer $0.79/lb which is 10-20 cents more expensive than they are stateside even though they produce bananas in Puerto Rico.
