The Packer is seeking supplier input this week for upcoming coverage of bananas and California strawberries.

The surveys ask for supplier input on trending issues such as packaging, sustainability, organics, supply outlook and COVID-19 marketing adjustments.

Marketers of bananas in North America are invited to fill out the survey that will be used to create stories for The Packer’s banana marketing section, which publishes March 22.

Growers and shippers of California strawberries are invited to complete the survey about California strawberries.

The survey will be used to collect input from the industry on the 2021 California strawberry season. The Packer’s California strawberry tabloid publishes April 5.
