How much will Australians pay for a banana?
Posted by kathryn in Fruit
Given the horrendous price of bananas in Australia following tropical cyclone Larry, Chris&Craig at Triple J have decided to sell a banana on ebay – bids are currently up to $275! (All money is going to SIDs).
For those not quite up to that budget, banana prices are set to climb even more over the next few weeks as the weather cools in Coffs Harbour. Yep they’re going higher than the current $13 – $15 per kilo. However prices should start coming down in September / October when the Queensland fruit supply begins again.

Quick money-making scheme, buy bananas on ebay from NZ, where they are still at normal prices, and re-sell with huge mark-up in Australia !
I know what you mean, I haven’t had a banana for so long because I just won’t pay the exorbitant amount of money that they are going for. Can’t wait till Sept/Oct!
Hi there Rosie and JenJen, thanks for your comments. The banana finally went for about $400, with fortunately all proceeds going to SIDs research.
