Manaíra Local Produce Market

From the bakery, we went another block or two to the local produce stand.  It was an interesting experience. Items were not that much more expensive than the big box stores, and only slightly more expensive than the huge central market. We love to compare the prices and take photos of prices. Here are some things for the comparison.

At the produce market, this is what we bought: (see photos)
QTY 4 Tomatoes 0.45 kg @ R$0.99/kg = R$0.45 = US$ 0.275
QTY 1 Pumpkin 0.87 kg @ R$0.79/kg = R$0.69 = US$ 0.42
QTY 1 Avocado 0.60 kg @ R$1.24/kg = R$0.74 = US$ 0.45  (Yeah, one super large avocado)
QTY 6 Potatoes 0.47 kg @ R$1.69/kg = R$0.80 = US$ 0.49
QTY 1 Rapadura Tradicional = R$3.79 = US$2.32
QTY 1 Maracuja fruit 0.20 kg @ R$1.99 = R$0.40 = US$0.25

Total: R$6.87 = US$4.20
