There are probably better ways to say this. If you're familiar with the industry, perhaps you could better inform the conversation.

Personally, I've always been surprised by the amount of fruit, flowers, and other perishables that do economically come in via air.

Flowers, yes. Fruits, short of the exotic, name them.

Alphonso mangos. Many other "exotics", which oftentimes just means they need special processing to clear APHIS based on their country of origin.

Landing here in Seattle, I've seen planes unload huge amounts of fruit and produce, probably bound for asian groceries stores.

I've seen high-value WA apples travel by air to India. I was a bit surprised by this one too.
