Fresh Produce - Growers

For growers within the fresh produce supply chain, accurately matching demand against planting cycles and crop profitability is a complex task, which can reap huge financial rewards, or devastating loses. Even with a good crop ripening at the right time, the processes of managing the picking, packing and distribution will often determine the difference between profit and loss. With tougher regulations around organic produce, country of origin and EU subsidy rules, growers are increasingly turning to information technology, reporting and analysis tools to help reduce complexity and drive down costs.
