The Q2 2019 issue of United Fresh’s FreshFacts® on Retail is now available to download from the publications library of the United Fresh website. This quarterly report measures retail price and sales trends for the top 10 fruit and vegetable commodities, as well as value-added, organic and other produce categories.
“At a time when the total store growth remains challenging, consumers’ demand for healthy and convenient eating options represents a unique growth opportunity for players in the retail and consumer packaged goods industry,” said Miriam Wolk, United Fresh’s Vice President, Member Services. “Fresh food categories are favorably positioned to capitalize on both these trends.”
This quarter’s report features seasonal category deep dives on apples, celery, and Brussels sprouts, with a comparison of Q4 2018 vs. Q4 2017 results. In addition, the report looks at top commodities purchased by families with children in their household.
The United Fresh Retail-Foodservice Board and Nielsen Fresh will also host a webinar to highlight statistics included in the Q2 2019 report. The webinar will occur Wednesday, August 14 at 2:00 EST. The webinar will be moderated by Jeff Cady, Director of Produce and Floral at Tops Friendly Markets and United Fresh Retail-Foodservice Board Chairman.
The complete FreshFacts® on Retail Q2 2019 report can be downloaded free of charge for all United Fresh members ($50 for non-members).
