They pay $2 for a nut and retail it for $11 to $14. People sell it for that price because Trinis are dotish and buy it.

Besides that nothing tastes as natural and nice as coconut water you can taste the difference in something natural vs those artificial sheit or even pack orange juice loaded with sugar and sheit. So no matter the price people buy it.

Last week I sold a guy a tree of coconut for 50 cents a nut. Because the tree is too tall and nobody wants to climb it and pick. The guy paid 50 cents and sold it back for $13 in POS. Just watch that markup.

Them fellas make the best tax free $$ along with the double man .
They pay no taxes
And have workers
If you ask them anything about taxes they more than lightly say they hustling for a honest dollar .
And society is ok with this .
E.g.. I went to buy a aloo pie in the market told the girl I want some channa she said it's $1 more for a freaking spoon of channa
So that was the last sale they would get from me .

Still paying $6 by Marabella and Cocoyea roundabouts.

Coconut man hadda buy grocery too... when he go to buy food and the price raise, the cost have to be passed on to the consumer.

When food, taxi, gas, mortgage etc go up ALL goods and services will go up. People have to live.

[bluesclues]

Is unaffected. Stopped buying at $8. Prefer wait for coconut tree to grow from seed.

So what about the wholesale coconut man like me who planting and maintaining the trees? grocery and sheit went up so why can't I get a higher price?

You realize wholesale prices of coconuts has remained untouched for the last 10 years and more right?

But anyways I go fix that soon, have about 200 small trees coming up thats gonna be reachable with a ladder for the next 20 years. Gonna bottle and sell that not giving these crooks a giant nut for $2 and have them make $20 off it. Once the tree get too tall I cutting down and replanting and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Making $10 around the QPS sound like a bargain , feel like is only a matter of time before they raise too. Does always hit the spot after a run tho.

Local wholesale buyer told me they going to raise the price of coconuts to $17 by the end of this year and they will be paying wholesalers $4 for a nut. So we getting a double increase in price.

The cacahole telling me how he can't thank me enough for planting them 200 bolee and chiney nut trees he actually think I going to sell he from them new trees where I could reach arms length to pick and bottle and sell. But I let him keep dreaming.
