Shouldn't it be Alibabila?

Funnier that way, apparently.

A while ago, I went lookng for various products - coffee machines, packaging, promotional materials, podding units.... - and every single search came uo with the same company, Alibaba.
Even the smaller companies were listed as subsidiaries of Alibaba.
It was quite apparent that this was a very large organisation.

My husband exports fruit from the U.S., Canada, Europe and South America to China and various other countries in Asia.

I don't know if Alibaba sells any of that fruit, but at least cherries have been sold on a Groupon-like site and home shopping TV channel in China before.

Is Alibaba north of Agriba?
