    Plz remember people have to plant and they need to make a profit. .. some people spend thousands for clothes and bags but complain when they have to buy food. … clothes can be recycled , food cannot. !! Prioritize. !!

    There is no way $13.61USD would buy you so much ground food and vegetables. It is far cheaper in Jamaica and I bet most is organic. Imported stuff in JA is a bit more expensive. People with low income in Jamaica should shop in the market from their own local people and stop compare foreign countries to the economy in Jamaica. Good food is Not cheap in the USA. Bless you Shan and beautiful daughter
