In grocery stores brimming with brightly colored fruits and vegetables, it may not occur to many shoppers the complexity farmers navigate to consistently deliver high-quality produce each week.
Consumers hold high standards for fresh food, which farmers aim to meet, but hot summer temperatures and long-haul deliveries can degrade quality even before produce makes it into stores.
FreshPlaza is one of the world's most well-known global media platforms for the fresh fruits and vegetables industry, providing its readers with the latest market developments and trends. The team of writers and editors source news from all over the world, and a daily newsletter is sent out with dedicated issues for North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa.
FreshPlaza is by nature an interactive concept that relies on the participation of its readers, where readers are encouraged to use the platform for publishing free press releases (500 words or less) and job advertisements.
