Under the category of "I thought they said there is no inflation"(though it really is the spread between CA costs & commodity like fruit pricing based in US $): Top for US $? Friday March 2, 8:42 am Eastern Time RPT-Dole to end Calif. tree fruit operations (UPDATE: refiling) LOS ANGELES, March 1 (Reuters) - Dole Food Co Inc. (NYSE:DOL - news) will still sell Hawaiian pineapples and Washington apples but the world's largest fresh fruit and vegetable producer said on Thursday it will stop growing California grapes and tree fruit in the sunshine state because costs are too high. The move is part of an ongoing cost-cutting effort in the wake of weak foreign currencies, higher oil prices and tough pricing in the banana market, which have cut into profits in recent quarters, the company said, making it necessary to streamline low-producing businesses.
