It's the culture of sharing revenues. Like the guy in the video says they pay the price for the respect of the growers and their hard work. Like over there they create jobs only to keep people employed even though they don't need them.

Like over there they create jobs only to keep people employed even though they don't need them.This must be what is going on . The Japanese are a mono population. They are a school of fishes. So respect is paid to the farmer who can pull this off in the form of a $5000 tip let us say. And the mango buyer gets some bragging rights. It's all about the prestige and snobbishness.If you send this Japanese buyer the best possible American mango he will not pay more than $5.
