  • Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions
    December 2, 2020 Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are partnering with pharmacies to increase access to COVID-19 vaccine once one or more vaccines are authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. There are two federal pharmacy programs: The Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination. Through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination, retail pharmacy partners can help jurisdictions augment access to vaccine when supply increases and vaccine is recommended beyond the initial populations. With more than 90% of people in the United States living within five miles of a pharmacy, pharmacies have unique reach and ability to provide access to COVID-19 vaccine and support broad vaccination efforts. This program will provide critical vaccination services for the U.S. population, with vaccine administered at store locations at no cost to recipients. The program will be implemented in close coordination with jurisdictions to ensure optimal COVID-19 vaccination coverage and vaccine access nationwide. Program activation will be on a national scale, with select pharmacy partners receiving a direct allocation of COVID- 19 vaccine. Timing and scale of activation (how many partners, how many stores) will depend on various factors, including supply. The federal retail pharmacy program does not include every pharmacy in the United States. Pharmacies not included in the federal program will need to coordinate with their jurisdictions to become COVID- 19 vaccination providers.

    THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE SECTOR IN TURKEY FLANDERS INVESTMENT & TRADE MARKET SURVEY Study The Turkish Food and Beverage Sector Market Study, December 2018 Author: Ezgi Çeri / Invest Deputy Flanders Investment and Trade c/o Consulate General of Belgium Siraselviler Caddesi 39 34433 Taksim Istanbul – Turkiye [email protected] T: +90 212 293 99 17 1 1 INTRO The following report aims to guide the trade and investment strategies of Flemish companies seeking to expand into the Turkish food and beverage market. First of all we need to point out that Turkey itself is a big producer of food and beverages. The sector has almost %20 of the country's GDP (2017). This has to do with the fact that the country is blessed with a suitable climate and ecological conditions for agricultural production, for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Turkey is the 7th largest agricultural producer in the world, and the largest one in Europe. It is the world’s largest producer of apricots, hazelnuts, figs, cherries and sour cherries, quinces. It is Europe’s largest producer of apples, green beans, beeswax, chestnuts, chick peas, green chilies and peppers, cotton lint, cottonseed, cucumbers and gherkins, eggplants, grapefruits, natural honey, leeks, lemons and limes, lentils, chicken meat, melons, whole fresh sheep milk, dry onions, green onions, pistachios, safflower seed, spices, spinach, strawberries, tea, tomatoes, vanilla, vetches, walnuts, watermelons. No wonder then that Turkey’s exports of food and beverages are much larger than its imports. In 2017 Turkey’s exports of the food & beverage industry reached USD 11,.7 billion.

  • Strawberry Deal Falters, Blueberries in the Pink at Wish Farms
    - Advertisement - Strawberry deal falters, blueberries in the pink at Wish Farms April 10, 2014 As is true for other producers in the Florida strawberry deal, Gary Wishnatzki, chief executive officer for Wish Farms, said the season was disappointing. “The strawberry season was not too good for many growers,” he told The Produce News. “Everyone was crying the blues.” Wish Farms is located in the heart of strawberry country in Plant City, FL. In addition to strawberries, the company grows and markets seasonal mixed vegetables as well as blueberries. Unseasonal weather played havoc with strawberries. Fall conditions were too warm. And a cold, wet January slowed down production. Wishnatzki said disease raised its ugly head in February. “The late season hasn’t been good either,” he went on to say, adding that there have been some quality issues with Florida berries. “Markets haven’t been very good in March,” he noted. It’s a night-and-day contrast with blueberries. Wishnatzki said the season is “just around the corner.” Production will begin in early April and continue through mid-May. “We will have good supplies soon,” he continued. “The crop looks really good in Florida. Growers will catch a break with a better [production] window this year. We’re pretty optimistic about the Florida deal.” Wish Farms partners with blueberry growers in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and New Jersey, adding import volume as domestic production concludes. “This year, we’ve added a packingline for blueberries in Plant City,” he stated. The new facility will boost blueberry capacity and give Wish Farms greater product movement to the marketplace.

  • U.S.: Florida Strawberry Season "Best in Recent Memory", Says Wish Farms
    Good yields and a strong market meant Florida's recently ended strawberry season was one of the best in many years for one of the state's largest grower-shippers. "From my perspective, and I think for a lot of other growers, it was the best strawberry season we’ve had in recent memory," Wish Farms owner Gary Wishnatzki told Fresh Fruit Portal. He added pest and disease pressure for the most part had been lower than normal this past season, which ran from December to April. "We had really great yields, and average prices held fairly well. There were a few bumps in the road, as there normally are, but overall we had good market prices. We were very happy with how things worked out," he said. "One of the things that contributed to the market holding as well as it did was California, which was impacted by the rains and got off to a little bit of a slow start this year. That did help to keep the market from faltering when we did come on with more volume." According to the California Strawberry Commission, by week ending April 8 this year Florida had shipped 27.5 million crates, while California had shipped 20.6 million. By the same time last year, however, the figures were 21.4 million and 21.3 million respectively. The situation in California may have also resulted in less competition with Mexican strawberry growers, who Wishnatzki said probably focused more on the Western U.S. as opposed to the East. "I truly believe Florida can coexist with Mexico in the same market window.
