Improved transportation and storage technologies has made it easier for people in the United States to source their fresh fruit from abroad, and the majority of fruit is now imported, with much it coming from Mexico, Chile, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. 

Use a supply-and-demand graph, together with our three-step recipe, to describe the consequences of fruit imports on the American fruit market, illustrating the effects on the price, on the production of American fruit farmers, on the amount of fruit Americans consume. Illustrate the changes in consumer and producer surplus to assess who gains from this trade and who loses.
