"Les fruits et légumes de Provence font de la résistance"

This newspaper story from Marseille is in French. What it talks about is all of the fruits and vegetables grown in the Provence region of France, which includes Marseille.

This makes me think how useful it would be every year, or at least once in a while, to see a similar story about the food we produce in NC. For example.... the area known as the Bouches-du-Rhone and the Vaucluse (both part of Provence) produces one-third of all the tomatoes grown in France; the prevailing price yesterday was 1.7 euros per kilogram, or very roughly... about 1.10 USD/pound..... how much of the US production of tomatoes comes from NC and what's the prevailing price?
