Sarikei Pineapples

It used to be cheap and plentiful, to buy pineapples from Sarikei, after all it is an Pineapple town.
Sad to say, you won't be able to buy pineapples during the weekdays now, only week ends are available and expensive.

The other day I asked for the price of one medium sized pineapple, the lady seller said RM4, I chose two bigger ones and two medium ones. She charged me RM32, RM8 for each! I was in a hurry to leave Sarikei and did not bother to bargain. Only when I reached Kuching, I realised I was taken a ride. 

Another time I asked another seller where the pineapples actually came from, he told me from Kapong, which is about 150km away. 
So, where are Sarikei's famed pineapples?
