cf. USA Soy labor costs $37/acre, yields ~165 bushels/acre, sale price ~$8.70/ bushel = $1,435/acre. Laborer gets 2.6% farm gate.
I know the literature on banana value chains. If you find a good graphic please share
Please post links to literature! Sorry, it's easy to criticise, but % comparison to soy not good for banana workers!
.@BotanyBert Banana value chains are extensively studies but we don't have good graphics that are suited to Twitter
OK! Thank you, I hope you understand my criticism was in a friendly spirit aimed at trying to improve communication of problem
