In Maine I'm buying forty pound cases of organic at forty dollars a case. I think its twenty five dollars for non- organic.

Not sure about the math here....

 

I would think you would multiply the price by 2.2 since there are roughly 2.2 lbs per kilo.

So the price would be:

 

$1.08 - $1.38/kilo (conventional)

 

$2.18/kilo (organic)

Just grabbed a case of Whole Foods "Earth" bananas. Sold as grown conventional, but grown organically. Usually they are 69 cents a pound. For the past week they have been 39 cents/pound! (18 cents/kilo)

Ryan,

Something told me that those conventional bananas tasted too organic to be grown conventionally! More info, please? :)

In Eastern South Dakota I'm paying $25-$30 for a 40lb. case of organic Dole bananas, or 99cents a pound when bought off the shelf. We have another organic shop that has another brand of bananas, but they're typically $1.29lb. and I can't get a bulk discount off those, so I usually go with the Dole Organic. Conventional is 39cents to 69cents per pound bought off the shelf.

Whenever I buy a 40 pound case of organic bananas it almost always comes out to $25 and some odd cents.  Not sure about non-organic other than that it is obviously less.  (Probably $20 a box)  Bananas are so inexpensive here that I have never looked at any price tag when buying them and I have never bought non-organic ones ever.   I felt sorry for you, Freelee, and anyone else living in Australia when I heard about what was happening to banana prices there.
