there are a LOT of varieties of tomatoes and each community has different tastes and expectations (as a rough generalization, Koreans turn to cherry tomatoes as the go-to snack when dieting the same way Americans turn to iceberg lettuce or celery)

but to expand on @poVoq’s point – I see the main emphasis on transport show up when a community switches from market shopping to supermarket shopping – when the emphasis switches from seeing what came in that morning versus stocking up for the week ahead, your emphasis on produce switches from cooking the ingredient that night to needing it to survive stuffed into a plastic bag in the back of the fridge for a week …
