Expensive Bananas Stuck on Vendors' Hands / Waste Instead of a Price Cut?
A video showing a shipment of imported bananas spoiling has gone viral on social media. The footage claims the bananas rotted before reaching their destination due to disruptions in sea transport and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, if the bananas had spoiled for that reason, they should not have reached fruit and vegetable sellers and should have been destroyed at the port during customs clearance. It appears that the high price of bananas and lack of public demand have forced sellers to throw the bananas away
Ambassador Arjan: A video of the spoiling of a shipment of imported bananas has been widely viewed in cyberspace; The images claimed that due to the disruption in sea transportation and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, these shipments were spoiled before reaching their destination, but as a rule, if the bananas were spoiled for this reason, they should not have reached the fruits and vegetables and should have been destroyed at the time of clearance from the port. It seems that the high price of bananas and people's lack of purchase have forced them to throw them away, but they are not willing to sell them cheaply.
