“At the core of the produce industry is a fundamental need for ‘people to find produce’ and for ‘produce to find people,’” said Mark Green, Vice President and General Manager, Produce Market Guide.
Recently released, through PMG’s “Claim Your Company” feature, is the ability for users to edit the full profile of their organization, including locations, products, staff, contact information and more.
Using that feature, a company now can link its organic product offering to PMG’s expanded produce database, plus indicate if it is registered by USDA as “Certified Organic.”
