Q farmers. Let's talk about the economics of farming in general, and produce and food. So people talk about big food with a capital B and a capital F. You know, I know there's a lot of politics around that topic, but politics aside, what does the ecosystem for farm and food production look like? There's small farms, there's, there's middlemen, there's big farms, like what's, what's the, what's the landscape?
A Yeah, I mean, you know, generally speaking, right, there's, there's, you know, producers, producers, You know, which is a really a large number of disaggregated, relatively small farms. There's some huge, huge farming operations, but a bunch of really disaggregated, uh, small farms, and then there's a relatively concentrated number of grower shippers that typically grow some portion of the crop that they're shipping, but then they aggregate or buy from a bunch of those disaggregated growers. Um, then there's the, the, you know, grower shippers who are handling most of the transportation, and then there's Retailers, basically, and those can be food service channel or just a general retailer. And then, then there's really the end consumer. And there's some kind of side alleys in there and, and kind of different niches, but that's kind of the general organization.
AI assessment note: “there's producers... grower shippers... Retailers... and then there's really the end consumer”
