Making sure fresh produce is never out of season
Even as a budding young business, Fresh Produce Group pioneered the art of importing fresh produce into Australia, to meet seasonal demand when local produce was not available. Over the years, we’ve introduced popular varieties such as American table grapes, Mexican mangoes, Italian kiwifruit, Medjool dates and Argentinean garlic. Along the way, we’ve cultivated strong partnerships with our international suppliers, so they now know instinctively how to supply the top quality produce the Australian market demands. We never take success for granted either, and are constantly reviewing our product mix to introduce delicious new varieties to an ever-changing consumer palate.
Why import with FPG?
Expertise.
We adopt a Category approach to importing top quality produce, and that means every one of our Category Managers is an expert on their individual produce lines. They are responsible for sourcing and selling their products, and delivering value at every stage of the supply chain. Their passion and dedication are evident, and translate directly into our high level of customer satisfaction.
Integrity.
Everything must work in total harmony to deliver the precious cargo of our fine imported produce. Perish the thought that anything is left to chance. Instead, all the elements in our cold chain are carefully orchestrated to work like clockwork. Growers, field officers, trucking companies, government inspectors, freight handlers, airlines, shippers and cold stores all have a vital part to play. And our Category Managers are experts at coordinating with each of these stakeholders to ensure our customers receive a quality product at the best possible price.
Forward thinking.
Our business excels at moving produce from port or airport to market efficiently. That’s what keeps the “fresh” in Fresh Produce Group. Not content to wait, we strive to have our produce pre-cleared at port of origin to save time. This is a sure recipe for reducing wastage, lowering costs, encouraging minimal handling on arrival, and speeding quality produce into customers’ eager hands.
National strength.
Fresh Produce Group offers our suppliers and customers the benefit of a distribution network that reaches right around Australia. We’ve formed strategic alliances with wholesale partners in each state, carefully hand-picked for their reputation, ability and expertise. So we know the produce we import will be handled by the best in the business. This strong network allows us to manage large volumes of quality produce with minimal fuss, ensuring that our suppliers enjoy maximum returns.
