Over the years, key players in the fruit and vegetables sector have started to increase the diversity of their offerings to remain attractive and improve the brand position in the market. Due to its traditional nature, leading organizations in the fruits and vegetables space are planning to invest highly in innovations such as packaging to increase the product’s appeal and meet the increasing demand for fresh and convenient food products. The growth of the sector can be attributed to factors such as the increasing health awareness and a radical shift toward local produce.
Here are some of the factors influencing the growth of the industry over the years.
- Competitive environment: The fruits and vegetables sector is witnessing relentless competition with numerous competitors offering fresh and nutritious products. The competition at large will be driven by local producers who can reach out to the market within a shorter duration as compared to international brands. The stringent regulations implemented by the government are also compelling organizations to retain the quality of the products offered while compromising on the costs.
- The shift toward wellness and nutrition: With the rising concerns pertaining to the quality of the food products offered, organizations are finding it difficult to retain their position in the market. Moreover, with the growing focus on wellness, consumers are shifting toward fruits and vegetables as it is a prominent source of vitamins and minerals. Thus, organizations need to ensure that they offer the right quality of products to meet the growing requirements.
