The background of National Love Your Produce Manager Day

Take a moment the next time you’re in the produce section of a grocery store to consider that someone has to order the fresh produce, keep the displays stocked, and consistently bring you fresh seasonal produce. When a produce manager takes the initiative to stock it, only then does new produce reach supermarkets.

In addition to placing orders, produce managers create visually enticing displays and assist customers in locating the best products. They determine the available colors, sizes, varieties, and options for customers. Essentially, the majority of the food on your plate was delivered by a produce manager. How extraordinary is that?

In 2012, the first National Love Your Produce Manager Day was observed. The day emphasises the role of a store’s produce manager, who is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the produce display. This individual also works within the guidelines of the supermarket to maximise sales and increase the department’s net profit. In addition to these responsibilities, produce managers introduce and test new products within their department. Consequently, these managers are responsible for a substantial portion of supermarket sales. They intend to provide superior customer service; a qualified and efficient manager contributes to the development of a loyal customer base that will keep customers coming back for more. Companies that invest in produce managers consistently outperform those that do not.
