How will consumer demand for fresh fruit and vegetables shape the future of grocery retailing? Which factors will determine demand? And how can retailers meet their customers' growing demand for high-quality fresh produce?

Surprises in Store is based on one of the most in-depth fresh produce consumer surveys ever conducted, research that involved almost 7,000 consumers in 14 different markets across Europe and North America.
