Transportation of veggies is quite optimized and is almost never the biggest contributor to the carbon footprint of any food or drink product.
Case in point here, looking at the graph, most of the footprint is in the coffee production and preparation, and 5-10% is attributed to transportation.
It's almost alwys better to get tomatoes from a sunny southern region than to grow them in a heated greenhouse locally. Even better to eat seasonally, but then someone will shout "now they're coming for our tomatoes".
