    I saw a can of Ackee

    in the Korean store today. I ask the man in the store what was the price the man said $20.00 and laugh. I ask him if people buying ackee for that price he said yes them selling.

    There have to be a cut off point as I will never buy it for that price. Mi can't believe mi eye.

    My brother was in New York recently and said he saw a brand of ackee that was packaged in Haiti. He was quite upset about it as according to him, Haitians do not eat ackees so how are they selling it.

    Personally, I think it is too damn expensive.

      you see Tilla that is the problem. We sit down pon the production of these stuff and at $10.00 a can somebody else going to enter the market and produce it cheaper and so soon or later we get left. Jamaican Yam is about 2.00 a lb while Brazillian Yam is $1.00 a pound inna the same store.

      At $20.00 a can there should be no more incentive for Jamaican to produce? It seems like the middleman a eat all the money because the farmers are not thrilled at growing more Ackee.

      Did you realise that coffee a the third highest commodity on the world Market? Ok we don't have oil but we have a lot more to offer than even many European countries and we should take advantage or others are going to.
