Haitian Ackee

[HL]

So I went to a farmers market to get some red snapper, jack, goat mullet, porgy and so on and so forth.

I saw some ackee that was from Haiti. They sold for $7.99/can!!!!!!

The brand of ackee from jamaica sold for$13.99.

I have not experimented with this brand before.

Madamx, Lazie, assasin...what should i expect?

Thanks in advance.

So wait Haiti have a competitve advantage over we? or a price we a price we self outa the market.

I don't know what to expect but a Ackee so mi wouldn't worry too much.

Now you see how Jamaicans a joke. We don't believe in reasonable market price and producing to meet the market, we believe inna making as much as we can from one tin a ackee and kill the demand.

If I see ackee for 8 dollars I can't refuse it if a even China it come from.

HL, what state you live in? As far as I see it no way ackee fi even sell for $7.99/can. Think about it, it use to be illegal so the price was high, but the price never went down once it became legal...Man dem a gouge. How much fi a can of ackee a yard?

Dread, i have bought ackee for $15.00/can. (Well $14.99 to be exact.).

There seem to be a haitian brand that cost less. I bought a can last saturday--but i have not tried it.

i have no idea of how much it cost in jamaica.

It's far cheaper in England. (I forget the price). Last time i was there i left with about 4 can in my suit case.

[Assasin]

Ackee price actually went down to 6 dollars a can but after a breeze blow a few years ago the price actually went up but a rob them a rob we cause it sell for much less in Canada and England. In England it is 2-3 pound fi a can of Ackee.

HL we have the 90 of the market on ackee and we choose to sit pon it instead of planting ackee and supplying more man siddun deh and a talk bout them nuh know what fi farm? The leaders them a farm fool as Ja can make 3 times the amount them currently making on Ackee.

Dash it weh!! What Haitian know bout ackee???

Seriously, I have a Haitian girlfriends who tells me that people (still?) die over there from eating force ripe ackee and that the people generally avoid it (admittedly she's been gone from there for ages).

With reports of mud biscuits being common fare there - when a Haitian avoids a food source that says a lot for the level of ignorance regarding ackee.

Personally I wouldn't trust it.

Good point, and also "Jamaicans" have very little to do with the price of ackee, the "farin market" and companies like Grace K..do.

Last year me go a Canada and nearly tun eediat when me see de price of a tin of ackee. I came back with 2 boxes. Me nyam ackee till me clide.

Speaking bout mangoEs. Is there some reason why I am yet to see mangoes from Jamaica on the US market? Oranges I can understand, but I used to love eat some Ortanique. I see everything else except Jamaican mangoes. These mangoes (I hope I'm spelling it right) here nuh have nuh taste.

[Assasin]

Lazie and Ben need fi hook we up with Chris Tufton, A want talk to him. Last time mi eat mango a when mi go Jamaica inna 2002 before that a wen mi go a England inna 2000. As fi neesberry and star apple?

How can they not export these crops and a talk bout competition in Brocolli?

Jamaica a farm fools not crops. Ackee a 14 dollar a tin and farmer poor.
