摘要：Although food imports
account for a relatively
small share of the total U.S.
diet, they play an important and
growing role. Imports accounted for
13 percent of the fresh fruit (excluding
bananas), 8 percent of the fresh
vegetables, 7 percent of the red
meat, and more than one half of the
fresh, frozen, and processed fish and
shellfish available for consumption
in the U.S. food supply during 1991-
95. Imports have increased as a
share of consumption for many
major foods over the past 10 years,
with some of the largest percentage
gains in frozen vegetables (1.8 to 7.2
percent), fresh melons (8.8 to 13.9
percent), other fresh noncitrus fruit,
excluding bananas (9.0 to 15.9 percent),
and rice (2.4 to 9.2 percent)
(table 1).
