During the first episode, Franka Rodriguez, global sourcing director at major international retailer Aldi, discusses the group’s recent efforts to pay banana growers a living wage for what they produce. “All stakeholders in the sector need to work together to achieve a more sustainable result,” she comments.

Other episodes include:

• Organifarms on the use of robotics to automate production and cut labour requirements

• Startup Mavuno Technologies on the power of machine learning to make supply more profitable

• The world’s largest fresh produce supplier Dole on the growth of new product categories

“It would be impossible to cover everything that FRUIT LOGISTICA has to offer in the space of a few short videos, but what these interviews give you is a chance to consider some of the big trends that will shape the global fruit and veg trade in 2023,” comments Mike Knowles, managing director of Fruitnet Europe and presenter of World of Fresh Ideas.
