US grocery retailer Meijer has announced it will increase the amount of fruit and vegetables it sources from farms in the Midwest of America by 5% this year.
Meijer will continue to buy its fresh produce from farms in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky and this commitment will account for almost one-third of all the fruit and vegetables it sells during the summer and early autumn. The Michigan-based grocer claims to have invested more than $60 million in local economies through this kind of initiative.
