A major factor for the success of our new banana sourcing approach has been the involvement of our business partners in the design and implementation process from the very beginning. This meant that we searched what is most needed by suppliers and producers to support sustainable banana production, listened to their concerns, and took into account the proposed measures.
Franka Rodriguez, Director of Global Sourcing at the ALDI SOUTH Group
Regarding cost transparency, at ALDI, we seek clarity on the true cost of production of its fresh pineapple product or any other product. That is easier say than done. To achieve this, we are working with our partners to get transparency on the costs involved in each part of the pineapple production process. Like the banana model, regular price reviews in collaboration with our partners will be conducted to ensure the costs adequately reflect changes in market and value chain conditions.
