Week in Review: Power of Produce deep dive

At the recent Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure 2026, Anne-Marie Roerink of 210 Analytics presented the annual Power of Produce report from FMI to an overflow crowd.

Roerink joined me on video to dive a little deeper into some of the findings, including what’s behind fruit’s rising sales versus stagnation in vegetables, a concerning drop in produce impulse buying at retail, and the effect of GLP-1s on food purchases.
