how does the demand and supply of freshly grown food keep up?

424 views

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?

A lot of fruit in the offseason is grown in greenhouses and transported long distances. That’s why it’s so much more expensive than local fruit.

If you grow too much local fruit, you can either flash freeze it to sell it year round, or you sell it to someone to make jam out of it.
