“Produce DNA benefits the supplier by increasing their intelligence and providing them tools to benefit the buyer. An output of the service is a retailer-specific intelligence packet the supplier can share with their buyers, thereby increasing their intelligence too,” Mike adds. “Canadian-specific produce intelligence is hard to come by regardless of where you sit in the supply chain. By sharing the intelligence with their buyers, suppliers can become more valuable partners to their retail customers.”
This innovative market research tool helps produce businesses open doors and create alliances with retailers who are eager to support suppliers who understand the Canadian market. Produce DNA also provides actionable insights rooted in data to avoid costly go-to-market mistakes and marries real-world experience with firsthand data to give brands the confidence they need to thrive in the Canadian market.
“With this information at hand, fresh produce suppliers and associations can better navigate the Canadian market by establishing strategies and tactics that will satisfy this large, diverse country that has many nuances and, in many ways, is very different from the United States market,” explains Mike. “Plus, Produce DNA users get the benefit of an expert who knows the market and knows the players.”
Mike continues, highlighting some other differentiating features of Produce DNA.
“Until now, produce organizations turned to generic market research firms to complete surveys or retail audits. These firms’ expertise lies outside of the Canadian food consumer or retailer and by their nature cannot focus on what makes them tick from a fruit and vegetable purchasing perspective,” he shares. “Produce DNA is Canadian Produce market research by a Canadian Produce market expert for produce companies looking for a leg up in the Canadian produce market.”
