Kiwi here.
When I see "USA" on fruit and fruit and veggies , I know they will look pretty but taste bland.
I don't buy them.
Sure they add nitrates and phosphates to the ground to keep the over harvested ground growing, but all the trace elements have been stripped.
The land needs remediation, a LOT of compost, a LOT of plants to help rebuild the soil, the land left fallow for a while and then more carefully used.
