Everyone depends upon the grocery retail supply chain, and yet, few people have any idea how complex and sophisticated they are, at least until something goes wrong. Over the last three years, consumers have felt the impact of product shortages and skyrocketing prices. Eggs have received especially intense focus, with prices increasing 60% in 2022.
Errol Schweizer has over 25 years of experience in the food industry. He has worked as the VP of Grocery at a major national retailer and has been a co-founder, board member, and advisor to over two dozen CPG companies.
In this episode, Errol joins host Scott Luton to shed a little light on the supply chain dynamics going on beyond the store shelves:
• The many different factors going into today’s historically high grocery prices
• How different producers in the food supply chain are responding to overall market conditions
• When – and why – shoppers might finally start to see prices come down
