Some American varieties are used in some places in Europe, but there are plant patents, plant variety rights, propagation requires a license and payment of royalties, UC Davis gives California growers a head start and preferential royalty terms, phytosanitary rules are strict, DUS testing and listing sucks, and European growers have to deal with different climates, diseases, production systems, and (spitballing) local preferences.
Those European local preferences are for better tasting strawberries. There are no local flavor preferences on the American side. Shelf life is paramount. Therefore, like the Norwegian wealth statistic doesn't that make them a poor comparison?
Is there some regulatory reason Europeans can’t use the better strawberry?
