“Supermarket chains and restaurants are looking for local produce options to fill their customers’ needs,” Anderson continues. “With all the produce that Georgia grows every year, this will help with our neighboring states. With the ELD laws, this will push for more regionalized service. This is great for Georgia and Atlanta as it will push for more transactions to take place here.”
Shuman, too, shares such optimism. “We’re very excited about the future of Georgia’s produce industry. We’re confident consumers will continue to trust and prefer produce grown and packed in Georgia.”
