Who is coming in?
There is an interesting USDA report out that looks at what countries are eligible to ship fruits and vegetables to the U.S., and their relative importance as a producer.
From the USDA's description of the report:
This data product combines data from ERS, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Bank. The data provide information on which countries producing specific fresh fruits and vegetables were eligible to export to the United States as of February 2007. Data on the absolute and relative importance of these countries in international fruit and vegetable production and trade, individually and in aggregate, are also included. The development status of the countries that are eligible to export to the United States is indicated, along with the ranking of each commodity in U.S. production and disappearance data.
TK: I published a couple of the spreadsheets to Google Docs. Here is the link to the summary of what countries ship various fruit commodities to the U.S., and this is the link to the vegetable summary. Here is the information stated in matrix style for fruit and here is the matrix for vegetables.
