Note that the article tells us that the law of supply and demand still operates. The supply of limes shifted downward due to a combination of violence, weather, and tree disease. The price then went up. This is bad news for minimum wage advocates, because standard econ 101 supply-demand analysis tells us that raising the minimum wage tends to hurt those whom it is intended to help.
As NPR reported just five days ago the cartels hold on businesses (namely, making small farmers pay protection money) is actually declining compared to recent years.

This has been being reported a lot by framers in other countries. In Central America farmers are forced to grow marijuana instead of food. It's the "media" who keeps these things hidden from the American people. This as been going on for a long time and with people ignoring how some of our laws are hurting other people.

Somehow I doubt that the cartels are really letting the NPR in on all their activities. Remember, these are the same cartels that our government can't stop or find sneaking in millions of illegals, tons of meth, cocaine, pot, heroin, pirated CDs and DVDs and fake designer products over the border every day.
