Why have blueberries become so popular, and what will the future bring for this rising star in the fresh produce department?

It’s a product that’s undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades, evolving from a niche, seasonal fruit into a year-round staple and one of the fastest-growing categories in fresh produce.

In this exclusive interview, Fruitnet’s Mike Knowles sits down with Cort Brazelton, CEO of Fall Creek, to talk about the past, present and future of blueberries.

Together, they explore the key drivers behind the fruit’s surge in popularity, and the challenges that lie ahead for what remains a rapidly growing industry.
