For Immediate Release:
EXECULYTICS RELEASES THE PRODUCE ALMANAC, 2021 EDITION
Now includes a cost prediction for every commodity for every week using the Produce Moneyball algorithm
Toronto, Canada, January 25, 2021 – As data and information based decision making continues to gain traction in the produce industry, Execulytics is excited to announce the release of the updated Produce Almanac. This third edition is touted as being the most comprehensive, objective review of the produce markets available. The new Almanac includes 2020 data and features cost predictions for every commodity for every week calculated using the Execulytics Produce Moneyball algorithm.
Grand in scope and loaded with valuable information, this updated third edition of Execulytics’ popular Produce Almanac encompasses the entire produce marketplace, from the perspective of both produce buyer and produce seller. It is a rich account of fruit and vegetables told in graphical and narrative form. A proficient combination of visual appeal and authoritative data. A book you’ll read to better understand the produce markets and one you’ll refer to again and again.
“Throughout last year I received great feedback on our 2020 cost predictions, we just had to make that a signature part of the new Produce Almanac”, said Mike Mauti, Managing Partner of Execulytics. “ Now produce professionals can plan their programs using predicted costs determined by a sophisticated algorithm. This is going to be better than just using last year's cost alone.”
The response from the industry has been positive, “The Produce Almanac is an invaluable tool for anyone involved in the buying or selling of produce" , declared Greg Ogiba, Founder & Principal of Gro Advantage, "Mike does a great job detailing historical price trends for each commodity, as well as identifying promotional opportunities throughout the season. This analysis offers a huge advantage to buyers and sellers who are planning ahead over the next year. I highly recommend having the Produce Almanac in your tool kit.”
Meanwhile, Tom Coleman, Director - Retail and Food Service Sales Canada for Bonduelle Fresh Americas had this to say, “I’ve know Mike from Execulytics for nearly 25 years. He has always been one to put data and numbers behind his decisions. That’s what the Produce Almanac is all about.” He went on to say, “We all know that analytics are key to success at retail, be it merchandising or procurement; this book is the best tool to deliver on that purpose. After referring to it several times I quickly realized it is a must on the bookshelves of all produce professionals.”
The 2021 Produce Almanac offers a little something for all produce professionals and a whole lot for most people, regardless of where they sit in the produce value chain. Some of the key features include:
• Exclusive cost predictions by week for 2021
• 5-year weekly cost histories
• Organic premiums versus conventional
• Year over year retail prices by week
• 1,000 plus colorful graphs and charts
• Easy to read sourcing details
• Useful tips to drive sales and consumption
The Produce Almanac is an authoritative tool for produce buyers and a valuable reference for produce sellers.
