Yes, if you mean how much profit does the farmer make I think you are spot on. Pricing fluctuates with the season, variety but from the data I've seen a farmer in the US might sell to the distributor at $2/kg, but after paying all their costs (packaging, labour, energy, supplies, depreciation) the pre-tax profit might be around $0.16/kg - so 8%, and that's probably a pretty good year! It's a low margin, high volume kind of business. |
