Banana?

[Grusa]

20 baht/kilo seems very expensive for a bulk export.

Oh Good all those Vacant plots of land around the country---where Banana Trees have been planted , was really just forward thinking by the developers, and not  to avoid the Vacant land tax that was brought in 2 years ago. .

 

 

Who would have thought such foresight......

I gave up buying bananas from street vendors hanging them outside. Last 2 times i bought them this way there were tiny white worms inside the bananas. I hope this deal does not backfire on Thailand from something stupid like that....

The five five five rule.

 

5 inches.

5,000 tonnes.

5,000,000 in backhanders.
