supply and demand? if you have a lot of something and there isn't a good demand the price will go down. In the seasons where coconuts do not grow that often(if there are any globally) then the price will be higher because they are harder to get. I do not think coconut is something that everyone rushes out to get. We have them all year round here in canada and not many people buy them. So I would assume that we get a steady amount of them from the countries they come from, therefore when you guys have a lot they are cheaper because there isn't an increase in demand.
