Bananas remain expensive in grocery stores

Bananas remain expensive in grocery stores

The banana continues to sell the same as at the beginning of last year in the grocery stores and has only had a slight market decrease.

The unit of plantains in the grocery stores is between RD$30.00 and RD$35.00, although this price will often depend on the size.

While in the markets yesterday, the large Barahonero plantain was at RD$23.00 per unit; the large Creole was at RD$17.00, and the large Fhia was at RD$5.00.

For consumers, the price of plantains is relatively high, mainly in grocery stores and supermarkets, where most of them buy.

Even though it has a relatively affordable price in the market, the colmados take advantage and sell them at high prices due to the demand.
