The Global Coalition of Fresh Produce brings together fresh produce associations from around the world, based on their joint vision to create resilient global value chains for fruits and vegetables that bring a myriad of economic, environmental, and societal benefits. The Coalition’s mission is to voice solutions to address disruptions in global supply chains for fresh produce, including – but not limited to – rising costs, and share and promote best practices.

In 2023, as producers and traders the world over were facing unprecedented cost hikes, the Coalition conducted a survey into the impact of these hikes on our industry. The results of this survey are available on the website at https://producecoalition.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Producer-Costs-and-Prices-Report.pdf.

Now, this global survey is being repeated 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 U.S., Europe, Africa, New Zealand, Australia and South America. Take a moment to complete this short survey to support efforts to frame and understand the challenges the sector is experiencing today.
