Faced with changing consumer demand, fiercer competition, and the effects of a warming climate, Italian company Cherry Passion had no choice but to rethink its business model.
In just a few years, it has transformed its fresh fruit and veg export business and become a leading importer of Belgian and Dutch produce.
In this exclusive interview, the group’s founder and director Stefano Pezzo explains how it coped with a major loss of production and diversified to survive.
This episode is brought to you by Dole, the number one name in global fresh produce.
