United Fresh Produce Association has released the Q3 2014 edition of the FreshFacts on Retail report, which examines overall retail trends in produce. The report shows that, during this quarter, fruit and vegetable volume remained steady compared with the previous year, while dollar sales increased slightly due to a small increase in average retail price.
This report, produced in partnership with the Nielsen Perishables Group and sponsored by Del Monte Fresh Produce, measures retail price and sales trends for the top 10 fruit and vegetable commodities, as well as value-added, organic and other produce categories. The report also features a more detailed look at the berries, citrus, and packaged salad categories, as well as produce in the deli.
