The Global Coalition of Fresh Produce launched its second global survey into the costs of fruit and vegetable production and trading, and the prices received by growers and intermediaries. The survey is a follow-up of the survey conducted by the Coalition in March 2023, when producers and traders the world over were facing unprecedented cost hikes. The results of this first survey are available here.
Now, the Coalition is repeating its survey to understand how the situation has evolved over the past year. The new data will support the development of global and national perspectives on the evolving impacts of production and trading costs in the following regions: Canada, the USA, Europe, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and South America.
The survey is a follow-up to the survey conducted by the Coalition in March 2023, when producers and traders the world over were facing unprecedented cost hikes.
"We are conducting this global survey to shed light on the challenges experienced by actors in the fresh produce supply chain worldwide," says Ron Lemaire, chairman of the Coalition. "The results of this new survey will help the industry, its partners, and all government levels understand the current impacts of production and operating costs and selling prices and work together to address them."
All industry actors are invited to complete the (short) survey to support the Coalition's efforts to frame and understand the challenges the industry is experiencing today. To participate in the survey, click here.
