Between 2007 and 2021, the percent of U.S. fresh fruit and vegetable availability supplied by imports grew from 50 to 60 percent for fresh fruit and from 20 to 38 percent for fresh vegetables (excluding potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms).

In 1981, 30% of fresh fruit was imported and 8% of fresh vegetables were imported.

In 2022, Mexico and Canada supplied 51 percent and 2 percent, respectively, of U.S. fresh fruit imports, and 69 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of U.S. fresh vegetable imports in terms of value.

I have noticed the Canadian tomatoes at the grocer and they actually taste good. Why is it we have to get fresh tomatoes from Canada?

Wait until the new president's 25% tariffs are applied to all goods from Canada and Mexico.

Whatever.
