How Operators Can Prepare for a Year of Produce Disruption

The fresh produce market is entering one of the most volatile periods foodservice operators have ever faced. Extreme weather events, rapid shifts in growing regions, and compounding supply chain pressures are no longer isolated disruptions, they are the new normal. In the year ahead, operators won’t just be reacting to known challenges, they’ll be navigating risks they don’t yet see coming.

Join Tyler Deutsch, Chief Business Development Officer at Produce Alliance, part of Buyers Edge Fresh Division, at the Innovation Forum for a critical session designed for operators who want to stay ahead of disruption and not scramble behind it. This must-attend discussion delivers a real-world playbook for preparing for a year where consistency, availability, and cost control will be harder to maintain than ever. This session is for operators who understand that the biggest risk in today’s produce landscape is assuming next year will look anything like the last. Walk away with actionable strategies to safeguard your menus, protect your margins, and gain a clear advantage over competitors who are still reacting to disruption instead of planning for it.

With over 25 years in distribution, Jeff Hoogterp knows the ins and outs of keeping things running smoothly. For the past 18 years, he’s been all about Account Management and Customer Service, leading a powerhouse team of 30+ and managing major restaurant accounts with over $1 billion in annual purchases.
