@chriselias3881 so why's adidas & nike paying $1/manhour to thailand for $90 shirts at an 80% gross profit? get a real job before condescending others.

@GoldOxide8463 did some searching. basically synthetic vanilla has crashed market demand to less than 1% for natural ones. the prices might be hiked but basically the whole industry isnt feasible anymore. the cooperative is making just enough to cover its opersting costs and price floor obligations.
