A diverse supplier base across Egypt, Mexico, Peru, China, and South Africa provides geographic flexibility to mitigate supply disruptions and align with regional harvest cycles. Meanwhile, 46% of suppliers are phone-verified, offering real-time access to key contacts and enabling faster quality and logistics coordination—critical for a perishable product like frozen strawberries.
