Standard supply chains can be lengthy and slow to react to issues with fresh produce. For example, if you receive a shipment of poor-quality fruits or vegetables, it can take a while for your distributors to source and deliver a better batch, leaving consumers looking elsewhere.
f you’ve got some contacts in the industry, it’s worth giving them a call. Someone is bound to know of a relevant distributor for your brand. Or if not, they might be able to point you in the right direction.
Of course, it’s not uncommon to see retail workers restocking the shelves of major grocery stores during the day, too. Empty shelves look unsightly, can disappoint shoppers, and give the impression that your supply chain is failing.
Some stores will use the window overnight to carry excess products out to the shelves and either stock them up on the top shelf or underneath, so that there are extra SKUs to put out if the current stock starts to run low.
