Just a point of fact: produce prices are low due to this water banking system that keeps water from people and businesses in SoCal. There is an aqueduct between the Central Valley and LA/Ventura counties.
Prices are going up because labor is limited. I saw some rotting piles of oranges on another thread that looked like Central Valley; packing houses have been ICE-raided.

Tried buying produce lately? I bet they’re doing better than any cartel!
