Only about 5% of the apples sold here are from New Zealand. Get real. The great majority of our produce is grown domestically. About the only time it’s not is if it’s a crop that is out of season here.
I read recently that we have actually become a net importer of food in terms of $ value. I cannot vouch for anyone's spending patterns but my own. Yes, fresh produce that I purchase is for the most part produced domestically. Virtually all other foodstuff, all the value added stuff, cheese, wine, chocolate, spices and condiments, etc. is imported, and that is where the money is.
