The Council provides assistance in the creation and development of education programs and tools to help industry members’ deal with the rising cost and complexity of transportation, including trucking, rail, air and ocean shipping.
The Council will also have an increased focus on transportation and logistics solutions at the United Fresh convention and other UFPA venues.
