 A 2023 report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that 94 percent of seafood sold in the U.S. in 2018 was imported from abroad, along with 55 percent of fresh fruit and 32 percent of fresh vegetables.
 "Among the notable products imported are various fruits and vegetables from Mexico; apple juice, tilapia and cod from China; and a small amount of wheat from both Canada and Europe," said Quoc Le.

I just bought about 6 pounds of Chilean dark red sweet cherries.  $30, but I got $5 in rewards.  Eating dark red sweet cherries is my second favorite thing in life.  Chile is the #1 producer of cherries in the world.
