The Hunts Point Produce Market is the largest produce market in the world and is located in the South Bronx. The majority of fruits and vegetables that find their way to your local supermarket, bodega, or your favorite restaurant likely passed through the Hunts Point Produce Market, as it supplies 60% of all of NYC's produce.
Phillip Grant, the General Manager of The Hunts Point Produce Market, joins us to discuss his work since the pandemic began. We explore the operational challenges imposed by the pandemic on the market, and the produce market's ongoing charitable efforts to donate produce to food insecure Bronx residents. Additionally, we touch upon sustainability and resiliency projects at the Hunts Point Peninsula since Hurricane Sandy.
