Don't forget the tax eh - something cheap outside Europe/US, once imported and taxed is no longer so cheap. Look at about twenty per cent or more.
That's one way we retain our differential. Even though Argentina/north African food produce is, for example, much cheaper than the US/EU stuff, high import taxes stop it from selling at such. A free market would impoverish us. Or, to put it another way, create a level playing field for poorer countries. God forbid.
