Kilotons

They're not just for measuring nuclear weapon yields anymore.

According to this article from 2006, Taiwan imports more than 300,000 kilotons of fruits and vegetables in a year.

Top three source countries were USA, China, and Vietnam.

That's a lot of broccoli and apples! (which by the way, you don't want to ship together, because broccoli makes a ton of ethylene that will make the apples rot faster.)
