The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for supermarkets, restaurants, and foodservice operators. From Thanksgiving feasts to New Year’s celebrations, fresh produce plays a starring role in countless meals and gatherings. At E. Armata Inc., we’ve spent decades helping our customers prepare for the unique demands of the season, ensuring that quality fruits and vegetables are always available when they’re needed most. For buyers at the Hunts Point Market, planning ahead is the key to holiday success.
Why Holiday Planning Matters
The surge in demand during the holidays makes careful forecasting and early ordering essential. Potatoes, onions, cranberries, squash, apples, and leafy greens all see significant spikes in sales during this time. By planning in advance, retailers and foodservice operators can:
- Secure consistent supply of in-demand produce items.
- Avoid shortages during peak shopping and dining weeks.
- Maintain quality through reliable sourcing and storage solutions.
- Maximize profit by reducing waste and optimizing inventory.
At E. Armata Inc., our team works closely with customers to anticipate seasonal needs, leveraging our grower partnerships and distribution expertise at the Hunts Point Market to keep shelves and kitchens stocked.
