Would you buy imported Apples or Domestically grown?

If you are a sensitive Global citizen caring for climate change, consider answering this question. Lets say you live in Bangalore, Would you buy a domestically grown Apple or buy an imported apple while staying sensitive to the climate? If you answer Domestically grown apple would have less impact on climate, you could be wrong. The producers store domestically grown apples in cold storage warehouses for long duration (could be 3 to 6 months based on summer) and this energy would have resulted in more carbon emissions than the ones due to transportation of imported apples.
