It's better to get fresh food from just down the road, rather than shipped from central Africa. A tree-ripened nectarine does not travel very well. None would make it from Zimbabwe to Tokyo. Actually, it probably could get there, but it would require some expensive handling and shipping processes.

Since seasonality is a big problem with crops, either they'll have to be grown in glasshouses with artificial climate and light near the consumers, or distant crops moved with much improved quality control.
