INSIDE FLORIDA'S BLUEBERRY INDUSTRY - Early Season Advantage: Florida's blueberry industry benefits from being the first to produce blueberries domestically each year, which allows it to meet consumer demand for fresh blueberries during a critical window. - Partnership with University of Florida IFAS Breeding Program: The industry's close collaboration with the University of Florida IFAS breeding program provides growers access to advanced research, technology, and new varieties before they hit the market, boosting productivity and innovation. - Development of Southern Highbush Variety: The University of Florida played a pivotal role in creating the southern highbush blueberry variety, which is now widely grown in Florida and the Southeast. This variety was developed through crossbreeding, enhancing the region's blueberry production. - Adapting to Market Dynamics: Florida blueberry growers face rising production costs and competition challenges. To address these, the industry focuses on replanting with higher-yielding varieties suitable for machine harvesting, thereby improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. - Weather Impact: Favorable weather conditions, including adequate chill during necessary months, have supported blueberry production in Florida, with no significant weather events hindering output. - Challenges: Despite successes, the industry faces ongoing challenges like labor availability and costs, intensified by global competition. Continuous adaptation and innovation are necessary to navigate changing market dynamics to maintain profitability. Source: IBO

Tractor Supply’s About-Face on DEI In a February 7, 2023, press release, Tractor Supply’s executive VP and chief HR officer stated, “Our deeply rooted Mission and Values are the foundation of who we are as an organization. They dictate that Tractor Supply prioritize a safe, respectful and inclusive work environment that values diversity of thought and perspective.” Less than a year and a half later, Tractor Supply issued a June 27, 2024, press release that reads, “We work hard to live up to our Mission and Values every day and represent the values of the communities and customers we serve. We have heard from customers that we have disappointed them. We have taken this feedback to heart.” The press release then lists how Tractor Supply is abandoning its DEI goals, among other shifts. Former Tractor Supply customer, David M. Perry, describes how he received the news in this opinion piece: https://lnkd.in/eUkkFQJ6 Tractor Supply’s recent about-face evidences the crucial work of DEI. In the words of Patrice Lumumba Jones, Chief Creative Officer, Enlight Media, “Those opposed to equality and inclusivity have long realized they’re in a fight to maintain their advantages. The resistance to DEI is completely predictable. Now is the time we push harder, not pull back. DEI in Context is a tool for those who see the future, not as a threat, but as a promise.” If that sounds like you, visit DEIinContext.com to get started. #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #IKnowHistoryMatters #DEIinContext

One of my favourite things about my job is hearing the personal stories that come out of growing. Whether you're a hobby grower, a professional, or anywhere in between, everyone I talk to has a story to share on how they started growing and gardening, and why they keep going. See Dave's story below and check out the article from his big competition last year! We are cheering Dave on this year as he enters another big competition with his Pumpkins, grown with Hygrozyme!! If you have a story you'd like to share, let me know in the comments or send me a DM, I would love to hear from you!

We are extremely pleased that so many shareholders attended our 55th Annual General Assembly at the Stadthalle Bülach today. We very much appreciate personal exchange and discussion with our shareholders, and we thank them for approving all the proposed motions. The Vetropack Group faced challenges in the 2023 fiscal year on account of the volatile and tense market environment. As in the past, we were confronted yet again with high energy prices, and we felt the effects of inflation and the impacts of the wars in various parts of the world. Subdued consumer sentiment made its mark on the packaging industry as a whole. Nevertheless, we succeeded in tapping new business fields, driving innovations ahead, and deepening our commitment to sustainability. Here are some of the milestones that gave us particular cause for celebration, proving that we are on the right track. #vetropack #innovation #sustainability #resilience #PackagingIndustry #GlobalChallenges
