Because most of the fruits and veggies that are colorful, nutritious and flavorful are flown in by air at least most of the year. Then if they don't grow here they are brought in by air year round.
Unless you are just going to be eating beans and rice.
When I lived in Manaus, most of the fresh fruits and vegetables that were not native from the Amazon were air-freighted from São Paulo, while some bean varieties were sourced from the Northeast, and most of the rice eaten here in Brazil is grown in Rio Grande do Sul.

Beans are quite easy to plant, while rice on the other hand requires flooded areas. At least that sounds like an excuse to integrate organic rice and fish farming, which became quite common in Santa Catarina. I have already eaten Tilapia grown in rice fields.
