Fresh produce, I am often told, is a living product. It's not nuts and bolts. And every person who has told me this is absolutely correct.

This is what sets it apart from many other products which are bought and sold as commodities. But to what extent is this a true limit to our ambition of supplying / buying / distributing / cooking with the perfect fresh ingredients?
