The series continues. August is a slow banana news month, and I’m still traveling, this time in New Hampshire (in the northeastern U.S.) Prices are generally lower here than in most of the country. Still, banana prices are high – and in one case, higher than I’ve ever seen them. The result? Chiquita’s profits, up again. And these images:
This one above is from a supermarket in Colebrook, New Hampshire, a tiny town near the Canadian border. Note the regular price of 79 cents a pound. While that’s what I pay normally in Los Angeles, the price is exceptionally high for a non-city grocery.
This one’s from the Beans & Greens farm stand in Gilford, New Hampshire, August 18th. Record-setting!
