The Abundance of Fresh Produce

Globalization has brought about an incredible variety of fresh produce to our grocery stores, thanks to differences in growing seasons between hemispheres. In the past, certain fruits and vegetables were only available during their respective seasons. However, with globalization, we now have access to a wide variety of produce year-round. This abundance is made possible by shipping, storage, and transportation technologies, as well as trade agreements that have lowered barriers to trade.
