    We can’t possibly grow everything in the supermarket shelves. We certainly can’t grow some basic ingredients like sugar.

      I never said that. We should grow what we can when it makes sense, eg bananas and pineapple outdoors, papaya and mango under cover etc.

        I don’t know how much sense it makes to grow things like papayas, mangoes, and bananas.
