In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I’m joined by Pat McCullough, CEO of ProducePay, a company focused on reducing waste and inefficiencies in the produce supply chain. Pat shares insights into the challenges and solutions involved in ensuring the sustainability and resilience of our food systems.

We discuss the critical issues of perishability and supply chain inefficiency, which can lead to a significant percentage of global fruit and vegetable harvests perishing before reaching consumers. Pat explains how ProducePay integrates innovative financial solutions and technology to address these problems, focusing on improving the lifecycle management of produce from farm to shelf.

Key topics include the role of capital in aiding farms, the impact of climate change on agriculture, and the strategic importance of entering new markets like India and Asia. Pat also highlights the importance of collaboration with large retailers and governments to create a more sustainable supply chain.

This conversation sheds light on the urgent need to support our farms and ensure that they can continue to feed the global population in the face of environmental and economic challenges. For more insights and to learn about the transformative work ProducePay is doing, visit their website and follow their updates on social media.
