How could the apples come from an island? Are they taking a bus or a plane? Is it wrong to say "The apples are from the island", the original place of the apples, the place where they'he been pick up from!?

Thank you, I started now to feel better how the "o" is used in the sentence. I thought it refers to the "apples", while actually it refers the "island", so it gives the meaning of "that Island".
"The apples come from that island" was accepted. In English, this would mean that the island is the source of the apples, NOT that the apples are right now being transported from the island to the mainland.... But I thought that "geliyor" had to mean the latter only. Can anyone clarify, please? Thank you.
