Procurement
The fresh fruit and vegetable segment of the agricultural industry is a challenging one. Agribusinesses are routinely required to confront daily operating costs while still delivering high quality and safe products that customers want but are often unwilling to accept higher prices.
Finding sustainable solutions to these cost reduction challenges requires smart solutions to overcome the rise in domestic and foreign competition, increasing regulations and environmental concerns, and the vastness of scale in which the industry operates.
