David Del Pino hosts FRESHCONOMICS — The Podcast of the Fresh Produce Business, a business show with 20 episodes published.
Allow me an analogy that I believe captures the essence of many of our problems. Imagine that your fresh produce business is one of those sandcastles you build (with your children) right at the water’s edge on a beach da
Welcome to a new episode of Freshconomics Podcast. Today we’re going to talk about how our prehistoric hominid brain explains one of the biggest challenges facing the modern food industry: the immense difficulty of innov
One of any retailer’s central obsessions is getting people through the door.This is what the trade calls “footfall” , the frequency with which customers visit the store. The underlying theory is disarmingly simple: if we
Quite some time ago I remember reading a viral tweet from an American dentist that made me laugh out loud. If I recall properly, the dentist was sarcastically replying to the typical press story of: “9 out of 10 dentists
Today I want to talk to you about something that sounds like a contradiction: the idea that our greatest weakness, as a sector, is also our greatest strength . To get there, I’m going to use a few concepts borrowed from
For this episode, let me give you a preview of the topics I’m going to talk about: commoditisation, economies of scale, standardisation, critical mass, logistics, efficiency, intensive distribution, technology, breeding,
Who really rules a market? Who really rules an industry or a society. We usually answer without thinking too hard: the majority rules! The big consumer rules. The big buyer rules. The retail chain that moves millions rul
In German there is a word, Schadenfreude, which roughly translates as “joy at someone else’s harm”. It refers to the pleasure one feels at watching another person suffer or fail. Friends, don’t do it. It’s not nice. Espe
It is time to take on another one of those topics that is both a curse and a blessing. Let’s talk about promotions. Needless to say we usually talk about promotions in general, as if all types of promotions were all the
I have spoken already in previous episodes about the difficulty, in our business, of building knowledge through experience. Because of volatility, what worked yesterday is no longer useful today. I often use the example
There are words we use so often in this business that, by the sheer act of repetition, they end up meaning nothing at all. We pass them around in meetings and on calls as if everyone agreed on what they referred to, and
I'm afraid we are witnessing a breach of the social contract that was struck between society and farmers at the founding moment of the Common Agricultural Policy in 1962, following the Treaty of Rome of 1957. When the CA
There is a word we keep repeating in the fresh produce business, almost without realising it. A word we inherited from textbooks, from conferences, from our business professors who told us that our fruits and vegetables
Gregory King was a pioneer of economic science. He was the first to document how volatility in production affects prices more than proportionally. How a small change in the available quantity of a crop can send prices th
What truly drives the fresh produce business? If you come from a marketing background (like I do), your gut will say “demand”. If you were trained in any business school (as I was), you will talk about understanding the
Not everything was going to come straight from the book. This is the first episode we go off-topic. In any case, this episode picks up a story that, I think, is little known: "the birth of the Sicilian Mafia due to the c
Quality control in the fresh produce business is one of the most misleadingly complex activities you can imagine. On paper, it seems straightforward: learn the regulations, understand the specifications, measure the tole
As you already know from the previous episodes, over the past years I have been collecting, writing, rewriting and drafting texts to complete a book dedicated to the fruit and vegetable sector. A book that is both a text
For this episode, I want to focus on one fundamental concept: the FRESHMARKET. And notice I didn't say we're going to talk about the "fresh produce market" in general, because I'm trying to establish a very specific term
And this is where a new adventure begins. An adventure that actually started many years ago when I launched a blog under my name (daviddelpino.com) and dedicated to the world of fresh produce. I did it when blogs were al
