Some, probably vitamin C. But that can be recouped with produce that always has lots anyway, e.g. tomatoes.

Not just vitamin C. B vitamins can be reduced by up to 70%. There is degradation with many other nutrients as well.

"Up to" doesn't paint a realistic picture, but it's a moot point. Nutritional deficits in the West are a result of poor consumption choices, not the lack of nutrition in produce.
