TORONTO, May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Canada’s commitment to reduce food waste and associated carbon emissions, coupled with the COVID-19 crisis and its impacts on the number of vulnerable Canadians requiring food supports, have placed increased emphasis on the importance of redistributing excess edible food.
Second Harvest, Canada’s largest food redistribution organization, has commissioned Value Chain Management International (VCMI) to identify the volume, types and potential sources of edible food. They are looking for input from food businesses of all types and sizes including farms, retail, HRI, primary processing, distribution and wholesale, greenhouses and aquaculture. This research project is supported by a grant from the Walmart Foundation.

Portugal: Jeronimo Martins quarterly profit jumps 66% amid COVID lockdowns
Portuguese retailer Jeronimo Martins said first-quarter net profit jumped by two-thirds to 58mln euros as key market Poland drove a modest rise in sales during pandemic-related lockdowns there and at home. However, Portugal’s second-largest retailer warned that there was still uncertainty over possible further restrictions in the countries in which it operates and their effect on consumer behaviour. It said it planned to increase investment to 700mln euros ($845.60mln) this year from 470mln in 2020, 60% of which would be in Poland where its Biedronka unit is the largest food retailer, but again warned that local restrictions could impact the plan. Sales in the January-March period rose 1.5% from the year earlier period to 4.8bln euros, with a 3.9% rise in Poland offsetting a 0.8% drop at its main domestic supermarket chain Pingo Doce.
