Plan Around Routines

Canadians eat more fruits and vegetables when they're in a regular routine. Think back-to-school, post-holiday, or during the winter months. 

Focus on Value Messaging

Cost continues to be the biggest barrier. Shoppers are looking for value—whether through affordable options, prepped produce, or in-season deals.

Don't Forget the Online Shopper

Convenience matters. 16% of shoppers bought their produce online this week. Options like meal kits, bundles, or grab-and-go packs are gaining traction.
