Nicosia, Cyprus
Back in the day it was difficult to source decent British potatoes around April/May time I think it was so my parents would sell Cyprus potatoes. Good to eat and distinct in appearance because the soil they were grown in was a very light brown. There is a nice big pile here…

Singapore
‘Vegetable Seller in busy Chinatown( in the mornings only) with a variety of locally grown and imported vegetables.’

Maybe not everything is homegrown, it’s very likely the globe artichokes are imported

Helsinki, Finland
Summertime and I would think that all the produce here in this splendid display would be homegrown. Quite a short growing season though and in the winter time Finland must have to import quite a lot of fruit & veg I would imagine

Oops, sorry, I think that’s a durian fruit top left, not a jackfruit

A fruit stall in Sri Lanka
After much head scratching I think we have here avocados, green oranges and the reddish fruit is whats known locally as ‘Jambu’. Top left is a jackfruit and of course bananas in the top of the photo. All grow well in #SriLanka
