🌎 An Inflection Point for the American Produce Supply Chain Industry GrubMarket CEO and Founder Mike Xu recently published an insightful article exploring the pivotal moment facing America’s fresh produce supply chain. In his piece, Mike discusses two major forces reshaping the industry: 1️⃣ The global power shift in fresh produce sourcing, as South America and Mexico become major suppliers alongside California. 2️⃣ The emergence of AI technologies that are transforming manual labor across the produce supply chain. Mr. Xu also proposes a bold and optimistic vision: expanding domestic fresh produce farming across the Midwest and other fertile U.S. regions to strengthen American agriculture, create more blue-collar jobs, and unlock new opportunities for innovation in AI, eCommerce, logistics, and greenhouse technologies. As Mike notes, “It is time to revive the agriculture of the Midwest and other parts of the U.S., with higher-profit fresh produce farming, including organic produce farming.” 📖 Read Mike’s full article on LinkedIn to explore his predictions, insights, and solutions for building a more resilient and technology-driven food supply chain for the future. #FoodSupplyChain #Agriculture #AgTech #ArtificialIntelligence #Sustainability #Innovation #FoodTech #MidwestAgriculture #FreshProduce #GrubMarket #Leadership #AITransformation
