I wonder to what extent this difference between the perceived cost of food in the UK vs US is driven by the relative difference in amount of food imported vs grown locally? As far as I could tell the US is a net exporter of food whereas the UK seems to import something like 50% of its food [0]. Plus a lot of fruit/vegetables don't grow well here meaning oranges will be from Spain or Israel or somewhere. Its not uncommon for fresh green beans to be from Kenya or Mozambique or Peru. I'm not sure if the lower cost of production offsets transport and tariff costs?
