We have few choices here in Clevia for produce, and for nearly a week all we had access to were mangoes and cucumbers. Things are getting tougher and tougher by the day. We spent a week without being able to find propane and no access to funds. We ran down to our last few dollars with nothing to eat and no way to cook.
This is no way to live, and it's even tougher when you don't have a social network of friends and family looking out for you. I think Suriname should import a whole Cambodian village, that would fix the agricultural situation within a year ;).
Even when there is produce, it seems there is little variety here, that is definitely something that needs to change because we're tired of eating the same 10 or 12 vegetables week after week.
