Not like it takes much effort to grow them. The real expense tends to be picking and distribution, but shipping in bulk keeps the costs down.

When I lived in Miami, we had mango trees in our yard. Every year, a group of guys would come by and pay us for the right to harvest our trees. The trees had no upkeep costs, so it was just free money every year. Really good deal for us since otherwise we'd have to clean up the fruit after it fell from the tree. Up north, the only thing that grows in my yard is blackberries and those damn deer steal most of them.

In general, all fruits and vegetables have a growing period, so that's just the nature of the industry.
