Morphology
The meaning is largely compositional: 'green' (fresh/unripe/young) combined with 'goods' (products) plausibly yields 'fresh fruits and vegetables', so part of the sense can be derived from the constituents. However, 'green' also commonly denotes colour or environmental friendliness and this specific collocation is not universally used cross‑linguistically, so a B1 learner might reasonably infer the meaning but could be uncertain without context or prior exposure.
Etymology
Green goods comes from a simple market picture: green plants and leaves sold as goods at stalls. So green goods means 'fresh fruits and vegetables' you can buy at the market.
