Even though grocery prices are rising at the fastest pace in more than 40 years, bananas are still cheap. According to Statistics Canada, average retail prices for bananas in July 2022 stayed relatively stagnant when compared to the last few months. At $1.68 per kilogram, bananas are one of the few fruits that are still affordable for many households. Why is that? For the most part, bananas are one of the most stable food items worldwide. Being grown in equator countries like Ecuador, Costa Rica and Asia, bananas don't have a set growing season and flourish year-round. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, banana supplies worldwide have risen dramatically since 2000. Extra supply allows bananas to stay at a consistent price despite other products suffering in volatile markets. And of course, bananas have not been affected by the "anti-plastic" movement. Have you ever wondered why banana prices don't seem to ever go up?

Another food item that has not seen a rise in price, at least in Canada, is tofu. Tofu, which is manufactured locally for the Canadian market has only inflated slightly in the last 15 to 20 years. The made-in-Canada supply chain aids tofu price consistency and is not often impacted by climate-related fluctuations. If you're Canadian, have you noticed that the price of tofu has not really gone up?
