Just spoke to a friend in Montreal Canada and he said they pay $0.69 c per kg for bananas. A workmate was in Hawaii for a week and he said its $0.55 c per kg and they are huge and sweet he said.

I understand after a storm in Qld. the prices went up, but even before the storm we payed much more than other countries who had to import bananas.

Why cant we import bananas from Philippines or Indonesia until our own farmers can produce local again?
