Western Growers Year in Review 2019

A Trade Practices Members Save Money through Collections, Contracts, and PACA Support T Transportation Driving the Success of Our Member Operations As a benefit to regular shipping members of Western Growers, the Trade Practices & Commodity Services Department has assisted members in consultation on sales contracts since 1966. This guidance and education of rights and remedies available to sellers of perishable commodities has been invaluable. As a direct result of this service, several million dollars per annual calendar year are recovered for our Western Growers regular members and millions more saved because of one phone call to our organization. The Western Growers Transportation Program is an exclusive benefit for our members to help manage today’s ever-changing supply chain environment. In partnership with C.H. Robinson we provide our members with technology and resources that include: - Access to a temperature-controlled transportation network of vetted, high-quality carriers you can trust - A full suite of logistics services to improve the efficiency of your supply chain - Weekly transportation industry updates from your dedicated account manager

- Quarterly market insights from supply chain experts - Tailored pricing options and customized solutions - Claims management services

C.H. Robinson’s execution of more than 18 million shipments a year and management of nearly $20 billion in freight spend adds to the community of data to improve the supply chains of those shippers. This use of data to identify market shifts far ahead of others helps Western Growers members and carriers act proactively in the changing market.
