The Food Service industry has suffered immensely due to closure of restaurants / bars, plus the suspension of the cruise industry, cultural, and sporting events, etc. This has been particularly difficult for us because it consists of roughly 20% of our movement and Food Service generally takes small-sized fruit which supermarkets do not purchase in great volume. Fru-Veg was able to find a solution! A number of consumers preferred to start buying produce packaged in a clamshell or bag vs individual loose pieces on a shelf. We immediately purchased material locally to start packing our smaller sized fruits in bags. We experienced a great demand for the bags at our supermarkets throughout the east coast of the US.
