I'm too lazy to do the maths, but we bought some cherries (imported
from California) at the supermarket last weekend - to take to a friend
laid-up in hospital - and they cost NZD22.00 a kilo.

But they were so good that on the way back from the hospital we bought
around 20 dollars worth for ourselves and ate the entire lot over the
next couple of days. They were beautiful ...

So USD2.99 a pound would be around NZD4.75 a pound here. Oh hell ...
I'll do the math anyway.

NZD22.00 a kilo would work out to around USD6.75 a pound. So please
start exporting those 99 cent a pound cherries.
