Air transport is increasingly used to transport fruit and vegetables to other countries where they cannot be grown or are out of season. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Fresh produces are frequently exported by

air

to different nations where it is out of season or impossible to grow. The transportation of fruits and

vegetables

by

air

has some benefits and at the same time

this

has negative consequences,and, the same is discussed in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with, the benefits of importing fruits and

vegetables

are that even people at distinct places can get the timely delivery of any kind of fruit or vegetable that they are craving , but because of seasons, they can not eat it.

Secondly

, we can save a lot of fruits and

vegetables

from damage because ,through the

air

, products are delivered quickly.

For example

, a product needs to be transferred to place A which is 3000 km far from place B, if it has been transported by road, it would have been delivered in 3 days but by ,

air

it will be delivered in four hours.

On the other hand

, a lot of pollution is caused by aeroplanes.

This

is to say that each time food is imported, a huge amount of fuel is burned, resulting in carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.

This

is compounded by the fact that exporting food often results in farming methods that damage the environment. The extra demand of overseas markets requires domestic producers to increase their food production, which often means using dangerous pesticides and herbicides, and many waterways are contaminated with these hazardous chemicals. At

last

, I will conclude that while exporting produce overseas allows people to eat a variety of fruit and

vegetables

throughout the year and it is essential for people in some countries to survive, it is important to pay attention to the costs to the environment caused by

air

transport and changes to farming methods.
