I have always thought of pawn shop owners as sinners. Here is another one, yangmei farmers, taking advantage of the others in bright daylight. Price not justifies the cost.
You clearly have no idea about economics. Either do I, but I do understand the concept of supply demand. There’s essentially zero supply in a huge demand. If somehow it gets to the point where it hits the main stream it obviously will not be that much.
I do have some understanding of supply and demand, and capitalism. After all, I have spent a good portions of my life living under communism, socialism, and capitalism looking for quality of life.
As far as the cost of maintenance, I would not imagine, in China, that yangmei costs 5 to 10 time the price of longan , lychee, etc... A decent comparison would it costs more to maintain yangmei over fig?
Anyway, like Kaz said, before jumping on the wagon, buy the fruits; eat the flesh; and sell the seeds to help recover the cost.
I shouldnt have come off so harsh like that, but you also shouldn’t be so harsh to our fellow fruit grower and ONLY COMMERCIAL YANGMEI PRODUCER, Harvey, and Calmei/ Charlie, for making it even possible for many of us to try yangmei. Without them, there would be very few people eating fresh yangmei here in the states. They for sure should not be labeled as you have stated.
I don’t have a ton of yangmei experience, but I can tell you that I have spend many thousands of dollars specifically on yangmei and I don’t have much to show for it. A few trees still alive and barely growing, not even close to fruiting yet.
Do you know how long China has been producing yangmei? I don’t know how much they sell fruit for in China, but they have a massive production over there, which I hear has surpassed apples.
All I k is is that I am enjoying ya gneiss so much which is why I have no problem shelling out like I have. I can only hope that it continues to gain traction and that prices will drop and everything yangmei will be widely available.
