I might be wrong but I remember learning that the expensive price is due to them culling/consuming internally the bad ones. Only the most perfect ones make it to market.

So this is a cultural thing. You’ll find high end fruit stores in Japan where 6 strawberries cost $100. They are generally intended as gifts or as a very rare and special treat. They are even packaged in fine gift wrapping. Make no mistake, they will be the best strawberries you’ve ever had in your life.
