When it comes to the fresh fruits and vegetables value chain, stakeholders will regularly find themselves standing on opposite sides of the table. After all, buyers gotta buy and sellers gotta sell!

It’s the start of blueberry harvest season, and we’re here for it! As blueberry production grows in leaps and bounds, stakeholders across the supply chain are looking to improve the ratio of fresh blueberries to other forms, as fresh berries can fetch double to triple the market value of those which have been processed. In this blog post, we explore how the blueberry industry can improve its quality control processes through automation, big data and Artificial Intelligence.

One customer’s A-standard is another customer’s C-standard. When we built the Clarifruit platform, we kept all of this in mind and created a smart solution that allows businesses to sidestep the complexity of multiple languages. Here’s how it works.
