We're hiring a Buyer - Fruits & Vegetables to own end-to-end sourcing for our client - from farmer identification and onboarding to purchase execution and inward quality control. This is a field-intensive, high-ownership role for someone who understands agri-sourcing and knows how to build farmer relationships that last, not just transactions that close.
You'll develop sourcing strategy for the F&V category, onboard partners who can support our volume, price, and quality bar, and expand our farmer base area-wise and crop-wise - staying close enough to the ground to catch issues before they become problems.
