For ease of use, data is organized by commodity and presented in graph and table formats.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">“We know that there is a lot of great market data out there, but it is not always easy to find or use, especially in a fast-moving market like fresh produce,” said Kevin Brooks, Chief Marketing Officer. “With FoodLink MarketView, we’re offering a simple way for suppliers to access up-to-date information about market pricing and trends, and put it to use directly over the FoodLink network.” </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>Annual subscriptions to MarketView provide unlimited access for all registered users at a subscribing company.
