> this does not apply for India

India has a horribly inefficient agricultural sector [1]. It's run as a jobs program for surplus unskilled labor. Its cost is in land and water waste, together with excess emissions and diet-related premature deaths.

Having been in US for a while and having coming back now I can definitely confirm that quality of fresh produce in US very bad compared to India, If you have only grown up on a meat based and processed foods diet you may not be able to relate. We generally consume a lot of fresh produce as compared to the western world, don't always believe in biased articles.
