Some Moroccan exporters import pineapple from Ivory Coast to optimise cost of transport

Moroccan exporters of fruit and vegetables to Ivory Coast use trucks to deliver shipments as this takes only 5-6 days from Morocco. To avoid that the trucks get back empty to Morocco, some exporters prefer to import full truck of pineapple so they can optimise the cost of transport. The imported pineapple from Ivory Coast are sold with a retail price of 2 USD per kg.
