Organic Veg Shortages, Food Waste, Ron Pelger, Organic Sales, and more...
With summer harvest in full swing, there are many organic vegetables at the peak of their supply, but there are a few items that are currently a challenge to source.
In supermarkets across the country there are produce departments stocked full of colorful fruits and vegetables. However, not all that produce is purchased, with a large percentage thrown out, heading to already overflowing landfills.
OPN is proud to announce a new monthly column focused exclusively on organic produce at retail by industry veteran, Ron Pelger. With over 50 years' experience in the fresh produce industry, Ron served as director of produce for the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (A&P) from 1968-1998. He is currently a produce merchandising expert and journalist/author at RonProCon.
