For Profit: The ABCs of selling produce

摘要

Dollar sales of fresh produce at U.S. convenience stores increased by almost 17% in 2013, more than double the overall rate of produce sales nationwide, NACS reports in a new publication, "Building the Case for Produce at Convenience Stores." NACS developed the publication in collaboration with the United Fresh Produce Association as part of a push to help c-stores carry more fresh produce, which can be difficult to obtain in smaller shipments and to sell at a pace that keeps both out-of-stock and spoilage rates low.
