U.S. supermarkets and restaurants sell fresh fruit and vegetables from all over the world. This resource shows common origins of more than 95 different produce commodities that are shipped into or across the United States each year. Use it to find the:

* volume of shipments each year
* leading state that produces it
* regions or countries where shipments originate
* percent (by volume) of total shipments each month, one indication of when a fruit or vegetable crop may be in season.

What a great site. One of our grocery stores just started putting labels on the price signs stating the country of origin. Now I wish they'd narrow it down to the state.
