Several years ago I priced bahaia. I don't remember the exact cost but seems like it was fairly expensive, maybe around $7/lb.
I looked into harvesting it at one point, but since the seed is very small, smaller than a sesame seed, its fairly expensive to get the combine/harvesting equipment that will harvest a seed that small.
