Banana prices a rip-off, say growers

The Advertiser: Banana prices a rip-off, say growers :

"In the central Queensland city of Mackay, bananas were retailing for $6.99/kg at fruit and vegetable wholesale store Vegies Unlimited. The Action supermarket chain had them at $8.98/kg.
'Obviously there is a huge mark-up (in SA),' he said."

You are joking!! We have been ripped off!!$6.99? We have been paying $13-14 dollars and making jokes about luxury fruit. What is going on? We are going bananas! Between that and petrol we have made some interesting changes at the homefront. The impact will hit later down the track as it always does.
