I have a friend with a block factory and they get 26 at the plant. Manoguaynabo. Produces 5000 a day and sells out every day. Get this: they net 3 pesos a block. Tough business.
If they sell out everyday, they should consider raising their price a peso or 2 at a time and see what happens.
Not one person, the OP, nor those in reply, have stated what type/classification of "block" they are referring to, in regards to desire or prices presented.
While it is acknowledged that the OP is obviously inquiring about cement/cinder blocks, there are several different types/classifications/styles to be offered here within the RD.
You will see this throughout the RD in various disparate wall foundations.
For example...
Look at a residential or commercial project using budget materials (cheap block).
Look at a project being constructed for corporate combustible vendors (gas/petrol/gasoil).
Look at a project that is government, or bears higher corporate significance.
The building materials vary in quality, depending on the budget, and builder.
Although "block" may be the same in shape, they are not all the same in quality.
In the end, you get what you pay for....or at least, you should.

Agreed.
But even you can agree with me that it makes no sense to use block higher in quality than is needed for the structure in consideration.
The OP clearly stated the type of structure he was building.
Maybe you missed that...
For agricultural buildings and walls.
you know a thing or to about building materials! (and fine wine). Yes and building\making blocks and bricks on site is another option as long as you have access to the correct mix. . I had a long disagreement with someone here about the difference between a dozer and a loader....whew
No, I can not agree with you on this.
The OP only stated that he wished to extend a pre-existing wall.
What type of wall?
How high of a wall?
How long of a wall?
Interior or exterior wall?
What is the condition of the existing wall?
Is this a wall for structure or barrier/perimeter purposes?
Will this wall be part of a water distributuion device, such as an underground cistern?
The same can be said, to use as an example, how much is a gallon of paint in the RD?
There are many classifications and factors that need to be considered.
It figures given who you are and that you are responding to me.
You cannot agree with me that there is no reason to use a higher quality material than needed in a construction project depending on purpose ❓
You would not find me using a higher quality level of wire in my solar applications than needed.
You figure out the level of current you expect the circuit to carry on average.
You protect the circuit with a fuse.
Wire is expensive.
I am sure higher quality block is also.
In fact ,I know it is as you have stated this in previous posts.
Why use higher quality block suitable for a underground cistern in a building housing the well pump putting the water into the system.
You gonna take a shot at me Tiny❓
Actually, I have no time for you. As in ZERO.
My response was intended for the OP, who I know to be a serious individual.
Have a pleasant evening, and enjoy it as you so see fit.
And yet you still did.
Devoted enough time to respond.
To respond to me personally.
Running DR1 play #1
The Ad hominem attack
Used when the poster has nothing more intelligent to add.
Remember the ignore function is a option when you truly decide to allocate ZERO time for me.
Because if your post was truly intended for the OP there is a private message function for that.
Have a pleasant evening, and enjoy it as you so see fit.
I will be enjoying mine on:
EAST SIDE ‼️
But I have not decided what I will be sippin on quite yet🥃
There is a loose association of small block producers that agree on prices to avoid price wars.
The blocks they are produced are for local consumption and not for big city projects. They're fine for small buildings when they are used with the proper cement columns with rebar enforcement.
The big block producers have to meet quality standards in terms of ingredients, mix, water content, etc. and thus more expensive.
Correct on your part. Error on my part. I should have been more specific because of the many factors that would affect the answer posters would give. Sorry for that.
Which is why I posted again with information on how I used the block I gave a price for.
With proper cement and rebar enforcement.
I was then attacked for my contribution:
With a like added by Tiny.
So, much for civil discussion and information exchange.
No troubles johne.
If you do not want to put it all out here in front of some of the trolls, understood.
You know how to contact me.
Enjoy the night, as you so see fit.
Yes given the intended use of the block I prefer not putting it out there for now. Perhaps some where down the line.
I hope you are including yourself in the above statement. ⬆️
Rest assured if you don't...I most certainly do‼️
