FRUIT LOGISTICA 2025 - Steve Alaerts, Foodcareplus Logistics

Industry Trends - Fruit exporters must adapt and plan better for more frequent transport disruption, says Steve Alaerts of leading logistics consultancy Foodcareplus. As he explains in this interview with Fruitnet's Michael Barker at Fruit Logistica 2024, there is no going to back to the 'old normal'. Instead, new and permanent challenges linked to climate, geopolitics, and labour mean that supply chains must now be built on multimodal networks that do not depend on single forms of transport.
