The Fresh Produce Consortium is asking its members involved in wholesale and foodservice to take part in a survey.
The aim of the study is to demonstrate the value and importance of these sectors of the industry and use it to present an accurate and up-to-date profile of this part of the trade to the DEFRA Fruit and Vegetable Task Force.
A spokeswoman for the consortium said: “We are working in partnership with the National Association of British Market Authorities, which represents the local authority markets, to obtain as definitive an overall picture as we can. We’re not asking for complex data, just a simple heads-up about your company - and all commercial data will be kept confidential.”
