Where does our Fruit come from?

This week we took a trip to our local Tesco. We wanted to see where the different fruits came from. The oranges came from Morocco, bananas were from Costa Rica and the blueberries came all the way from Uruguay. The only fruit from Ireland were the strawberries.

Have a look at this link to see the distance our fruit traveled.
