Heat Waves Strain Exotic Fruit Procurement in Hanover

Heat waves are creating procurement challenges for the food distributor based in Hanover. The company, which sources produce from the Netherlands and other regions of Germany, including the Palatinate, noted that finding quality produce has been difficult. Specifically, tomatoes are scarce, while the company relies on produce from other regions of Germany to supplement its offerings.

The company primarily serves the restaurant industry within a 100-kilometer radius of Hanover. While the higher-end restaurant sector remains stable or growing, the company observes that sales in the lower-priced segment are sluggish due to the strained regional restaurant industry.
