A Global Network
for Change

Global Women Fresh brings together Women in Produce — from the front lines to the front offices — to close the gender divide in our industry.

If you’re moved to change the status quo and leverage the talent of women to advance the fresh produce industry, then you’ve come to the right place.
With equitable access to resources, women can contribute more.
On average, women make up about 43% of the ag labour force in developing countries. If these women had the same access to resources as men, they could increase yields by up to 30%, reducing the number of hungry people in the world by up to 17% (United Nations).
CHANGE THE STATUS QUO


The consumer
economy is female.
Women make up to 80% of purchasing decisions (Forbes, 2019).
CHANGE THE STATUS QUO

Women still lack
a seat at the table.
While gender diversity is increasing, women still only make up 20% of board positions globally (MSCI, 2019).
CHANGE THE STATUS QUO
Diversity & inclusivity
is just good business.
Companies in the top quartile for executive gender diversity are 21% more likely to have above average profitability — 33% if the executive team is culturally diverse (McKinsey, 2019).
