But what they do not know is why these items cost as much as they do, and why the same product’s price varies from one country to the next. Several factors determine this price, but perhaps the most critical factor is the country’s Agricultural Policy. If you want to learn about the Caribbean and Latin American countries’ agricultural policies, take the AGRIMONITOR course by edX.
