I don’t get how say a strawberry grower/supplier for a major supermarket, grows and supplies continuous amounts of strawberries (or any other food item grown) to be able to supply the whole country on a mass basis.
Surely, once the ripe ones have been picked you have to wait ages for them to grow again. How on earth is there ever enough to supply so much all the time?

Strawberries in a grocery store come from different locations depending on time of year. They may come from Mexico during the winter, California in the spring and fall, Michigan in the summer.
Some fruits, like apples, can be stored for a long time if the temperature, humidity, air mixture is controlled (the average grocery store apple was picked 15 months prior). Bananas can also be stored in specific conditions to speed up or slow ripening.
