U.S. #consumers have pushed for greater consistency in #supermarket produce and expanded demand for year-round availability of #virtually all #freshvegetables. Between 1998 and 2020, the #volume of fresh #vegetable#imports increased nearly 200 percent, and the value of fresh vegetable imports #grew to exceed fresh #exports by $7.6 billion, more than double the same figure a decade earlier.
