It’s a small world, which is why international tomato prices affect you.

Many of the vegetables your grocer buys from abroad are pricier, and that’s particularly true for tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots and onions. According to the government’s import price indexes released this morning, prices for those veggies on a whole are up 35 percent from last year. The point? Don’t snub those home-grown organics so quickly, as they might be priced friendlier than you think.

On the other hand, fruit prices from afar are doing just fine. Prices for the category that includes bananas and grapes actually fell by over 15 percent, according to the import price indexes from the Labor Department.
