We are excited by the momentum of the "Fresh Produce Supply Chain of the Future" project we been taking part in. Through virtual and in-person sessions since December hundreds of supply chain experts from around the globe have shared knowledge captured in the attached 34-page report. Now we will break into four technical working groups and hack software pilots to demo at the International Fresh Produce Association event in October. The working groups are looking at four opportunities: 1. Shelf-life Predictability, 2. Dynamic Incentives, 3. Harmonized Standards, 4. Smart Data Escrow.
