    “Currently just under 50% of the UK’s food is imported including 80% of fruit, 50% of vegetables, and 20% of beef and poultry, while the UK is almost completely self-sufficient for wheat, barley, lamb, and potatoes.”

          I did not want to imply that the UK doesn’t have or is in any way incapable of aquiring vegetables, but I still think vegetables are more of concern than fruits like mangoes to the UK and people in general, because vegetables are important ( My head: Eat your vegetables, child… ).
