A year ago, in Qatar (in the Persian Gulf, excuse me, Arabian Gulf) I saw a small, expensive berry-box of red arguta kiwis that had been grown in the USA. I bought some local dates instead.

Anyway, that box tells me that American farmers are attempting to market these too. I look forward to them becoming reasonably priced, although maybe my own vines will finally be producing by then.
