The cost of the box of bananas falls below 50%

The country's newspapers these days are surprised and skeptical the price drop banana box set at $ 5.40 for USA domestic market. This should not surprise many and fewer producers who know that the banana business is cyclical and that at this time for being low season there is a downturn in prices, first externally and of course the farm level country.

The producers claim the failure of exporters to pay the official price is the refrain of every year. There is no authority whatsoever to him as the bell the cat. What were the reasons?. The lack of written complaints and the strength of the power of exporters, it must be said, mighty lord Don money. In over a decade it has existed are threats of sanctions and export shutdowns. Perhaps the most powerful reason is that the producers never complaint when the price of the box gets into the clouds and they make castles in the air and just drop them when the dream ends rich producer.

However there is a simple tool to prevent the fleeced like sheep and treat them as producers of bananas and is formalizing their contracts. However this would leave them out of the game of free market, ie its offer could not be validated in the market supply and demand by the straitjacket of the contract which the parties are obliged to respect them. I respect it.
