Aviation shipment is more preferable and is also in demand to ship fruits and vegetables to other countries where they are not capable to produce or are in season which aren’t suitable to cultivate. I personally think this is good for other countries and it also allows them to eat different varieties of fruits or vegetables through out the year. However there are some serious disadvantages also comes by harming the nature and practicing harsh farming.
On the one hand, The main benefit of importing fruit and vegetables is the wide range of products that can be found throughout the year. Some countries are only able to produce certain crops during specific seasons, so, without imports, they wouldn’t be able to consume these foods year-round. Moreover, imported produce is vital for survival in some countries. This is because their harsh environment prevents sufficient food from being grown.
On the other hand, a drawback is a pollution caused by the airplanes. Each time food is exported, a huge amount of fuel is burned, resulting in carbon emissions that contribute to global warming. This is compounded by the fact that exporting food often results in farming practices that damage the environment. The extra demand of overseas markets requires domestic producers to increase their food production, which often means using dangerous pesticides and herbicides.
In conclusion, while the benefits of exporting produce overseas are that it allows people to eat a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the year, and it is essential for people in some countries to survive, the drawbacks are the costs to the environment and changes to farming methods.
