The Nafta thing got its start in the 60's with the Vista and Peace Corps movements. Now that We The People taught them to farm and wipe their butts they are taking their harvest and bringing to our country. We customers are lamenting this too. There are some countries I won't buy from.
But it's not just the 'big box stores' that are to 'fault'. Farmers both big and small are finding it hard to just open a produce stand in this country. Neighbors complain about the 'traffic flow'.
If this guy wants to expand why doesn't he lobby for relaxed FDA and USDA standards and contract for growers across the country.
a) Capital flowing from the US to Mexico;
b) Capital flowing from Mexico to the US;

d) a and c.
I believe these firms are suffering from consumers preferences for fresh over frozen. One of the benefits of NAFTA and other trade agreements is that we now are able to purchase many fresh produce items year round rather than just seasonally. As a result, there is less demnand these days for frozen and canned fruits and vegetables.
