It sounds like you live in the US or something. Tomatoes from the market should be freshly picked overnight to be sold early in the morning. There's literally no difference.

I don't live in the USA.

I just don't live near a tomatoes field, however, it's not just time, perfectly ripe tomatoes don't survive transportation well. So mass production of tomatoes requires the picking of less ripe fruit.

I used to grow tomatoes myself and then transport them 80km away to my family. No issues there. They can survive a lot, especially if you have a refrigerated truck.

I worked a few summers on a commercial organic farm and for many years in a small family plot. Maybe we are talking about different scales of transportation, quality control or different species of tomatoes.
