Fruits are among the most traded agricultural commodities, with global import and export networks connecting growers and consumers across continents. Countries rich in climate variability can produce different seasonal fruits, ensuring a year-round supply to international markets. Exporting countries like China, the USA, and various Mediterranean nations focus on both volume and quality, while importing countries rely on fresh fruit imports to diversify diets, maintain price stability, and supplement local production during off-seasons. The trade is tightly regulated to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases, and recent advancements in cold chain logistics have greatly expanded the safe delivery range of perishable goods.
