UK Help - Bananas
« on: October 06, 2011, 09:14:50 am »
As a matter of interest can someone tell me the price of Bananas there in the Supermarket, which are the produce of Australia, interested to know if they are being exported cheaper than we are being charged for here.  Thank you for your help in advance if anybody can!

I don't think I've seen any bananas for sale here that are from Australia.

Lady Finger Bananas just came down to $7.99 kg in my local Yarraman fruit Shop but I'm sure they said they would be coming back to normal price by now!  :-)) If 'they' - (who ever they is) don't bring them back to a reasonable price they will have trouble keeping the imports out. It's definitely not farmers that set the prices.  >:(

We bought some bananas from the supermarket for 50pence a kilo, we hadn't enjoyed bananas for so long. I don't understand why we can have USA cherries for $9.99 a kilo, sorry but import some if we have a shortage.  Perhaps that's unaustralian.

$10.98/kg in woolies- can't wait for the prices to go down!  My 10 year old and I dream of cheaper bananas to make all sort of dishes.
