a press release tells that the US has rejected a shipment of pineapples from the DR, because the chemical content is unacceptable. the pineapples are now being blown out at fire sale prices in local markets

Hmmm.......?
Honest mistake or people taking shortcuts and trying to pull one over?
Lesson learned, I hope.
Do not mess with the big guys.
In the end the price will be too dear.
Chemical content? Is that something to do with the fertilizer?
It doesn't sound that appetizing.

these guys do not understand that they are not selling chickens to Haiti here. it is pretty difficult to get this kind of stuff past US customs. too many ambulance chasers out there.

gorgon, check the date - it was June 2012.

my bad...saw it today on that other site, and did not notice the date of the release. i guess the guy who posted it missed that little detail, too. time to close this thread, AE.

I was so looking forward to making fresh pineapple upside down cakes.:tired:
