Today’s Organic
Farmers and the Tomato producers
Why is
it that food from closer farms to home are often more expensive and unable to
compete with those of the tomato producers from out of state that have much
further to travel? In theory the fact that the tomatoes from the producers
could be traveling to more than two thousand miles to reach their destination
should be more expensive than the tomatoes that only travel sixty or so to
reach the grocery store in town. From transportation, economic benefits, and nutrients
the two producers have some benefit to what it is they are doing, while the two
work for separate goals as well as influence the market in different ways as
well. The first major difference comes from the transportation.
