Why is the fresh produce industry so volatile?
A single shipment of produce will typically travel 1,600 miles, and will be handled by multiple intermediaries. Along the way, weather, fluctuating markets, pests, and other factors create constant disruption. This is why it has the most volatility of any commodity on the planet.
This volatility creates enormous inefficiencies and results in economic and food waste.

The human component of predictability.
Nearly 60% of the supply chain’s value is lost in the form of economic or food waste. Our episode in ‘The Human Component’, an online series produced by BBC Storyworks, highlights how we’re tackling these challenges.
Discover how technology can empower growers, distributors, and retailers to gain greater control of their businesses, enhance coordination between them, and build a more predictable supply chain.
