it means you think too small. you down the street to a local market. you think miles away at some warehouse. you think of your own country. you don't consider there are people thousands of miles away that will do jobs for 1/1000th of what people near you will do. you don't consider there are facilities already set up where they are that will do a job. you see distance as a detriment. you're not thinking of all the assets you could access globally they throw the pears on a ship and a month later they're in thailand. its literally cheaper to send them overseas to be processed and packaged then to do it locally where they are grown. there are something like two ships a day leaving argentina to thailand. that means every day two more ships are showing up with a new load of fruit. the distance doesn't matter if there is a constant flow of goods daily
