Fresh Facts on Retail (Q3 2009)

Year Published:
2009
Description:
In the third quarter of 2009, we saw sales in the produce department shift greatly compared to the third quarter of 2008. Average retail prices in Q3 2008, much like the rest of 2008, were high, and consumers responded by buying less volume in an effort to save money as the reality of the economic recession sank in. In 2009, we start to see the inverse of this taking place.

Looking at sales data in this edition of Fresh Facts on Retail for the third quarter of 2009 (June 28 – September 26, 2009) compared to the third quarter of 2008, many average retail prices have declined, spurring a rebound in volume for bulk produce. Unfortunately value-added fruit and vegetable sales are still suffering despite declining prices, as consumers continue to budget their money more closely.

The United Fresh Produce Association has partnered with Del Monte Fresh Produce and the Perishables Group to develop this quarterly Fresh Facts on Retail report to track retail produce sales and performance. Each issue reports on overall produce sales trends, top-line data on the top 10 fruit and vegetable commodities, details on growth in value-added produce, and performance tracking for organics. We also feature a more in-depth section Quarterly Spotlight with Q3 2009 focusing on examining the depth of discounts of the top value- added fruit and vegetable categories.
