Outlook No. (FTS-32801) 21 pp, September 2007

Dominant suppliers are the North American Free Trade Agreement region for fresh vegetables, the Southern Hemisphere countries for off-season fresh fruit, and equatorial countries for bananas.

Keywords: Canada, Chile, Mexico, NAFTA, Southern Hemisphere, fresh fruit imports, fresh vegetable imports, produce consumption, Chinese garlic
