It’s a good practice (is also a sunnah or Prophet’s tradition) to eat some fruits before eating.Here, for fruits one could find not just the normal suspects such as orange, pear and apple but also all sort of exotic fruits from the tropic all year round. Just wander around to a weekend market and you will see all sort of fruits laid out.
Prices might be a bit on the high side compare to back home but then these fruits have to be packaged and transported. As well, most fruit farmers and producing nations nowadays are increasingly protected under fair trade, an initiative to alleviating global poverty and promoting sustainability. The movement promotes the payment of a fair price as well as social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, cotton, fresh fruit, and so on. So next time you buy fruits, think of the hard working farmers.
