Welcome to Shop Talk! We are joined by Drew Schwartzhoff, Director of Marketing for C.H. Robinson, to talk about what's new within the company. At this year's Fresh Summit, C.H. Robinson revealed that its biggest news was surrounding its grower services, where the company is continuing to build and grow. It is also an area where customers are finding a lot of value. The services range from traditional selling and marketing of their fresh produce crop all the way back into the supply chain, addressing how they can conduct back end support, and how they can do more seed innovation so that growers can really focus on the growing. C.H. Robinson also provides transportation and logistics services.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> C.H. Robinson has worked for a number of years with Timco Worldwide on the supply chain and logistics side. Timco brings on unique technology, demand planning and crop forecasting with its Sharp system, TX-5 sorting equipment that is patented along with very interesting seed innovation particularly in the mini melon category. With the Pink Ribbon watermelon program that C.H. Robinson has been running for a number of years, Timco is a great fit.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
