She didn't go into much more detail than that, but I would like to think the growers wouldn't be so daft as to throw out otherwise salable produce.

Of course, a lot of produce that is grown (at least in the US) doesn't make it to a grocery store as fresh produce, either. Growers and distributors do their best to weed out any unappealing fruits and vegetables, since consumers tend to not buy them (frumpy-looking apples tend to wind up being used for cider, juice, applesauce, or used as an ingredient in other products, for example).
