The Global Women Fresh Podcast is where bold conversations meet fresh perspectives.
From the front lines to the front offices, we bring together women leaders across the global produce and supply chain industry to spotlight the voices, vision, and value that are reshaping the future of FRESH.
Whether you’re a grower, shipper, marketer, executive, or advocate, this is your space to be informed, inspired, and ignited into action. Our mission is clear: to close the gender divide in produce by showcasing leadership, elevating stories, and cultivating a more inclusive industry for all.
If you’re ready to challenge the status quo, unlock new opportunities, and leverage the power of women to drive meaningful progress in fresh produce—you’ve come to the right place.
Tune in, lean in, and let’s grow together.
From Drought Relief to China’s Surging Durian Demand: Global Produce Shifts Reshaping the Market
This week on The Global Fresh Series, we take a wide-angle look at how rapidly shifting environmental conditions, global demand, and innovation are reshaping the fresh produce landscape.
We begin in California, where the state has officially been declared drought-free, marking a major turning point for growers, water policy, and long-term agricultural planning.
From there, we travel to Southeast Asia, where surging demand for durian—driven by the Chinese market—is transforming the small rural village of Raub, in Malaysia. Once a quiet agricultural area, Raub is now positioning itself as a global supplier, expanding durian production and opening new export channels to India.
We close the episode with a look at innovation closer to home, as four new potato varieties are introduced to the market—highlighting how plant breeding, consumer preferences, and adaptability continue to drive opportunity in staple crops.
From climate resilience to exotic fruit demand and varietal innovation, this episode captures the interconnected forces shaping the future of global fresh produce.
