Almond
Insights
“Almond Insights” is an online
platform through which Blue
Diamond’s President and CEO, Mark Jansen, can communicate to
the almond industry in a timely manner, providing commentary on
events as they happen to global ingredient customers and business
partners. Growers and other interested audiences are encouraged
to visit the blog and subscribe to the email feed to receive an update
in their inbox each month.
The blog features monthly video “episodes” in which Jansen
comments on the state of the almond industry, including discussions
about shipment reports, the crop’s development, significant weather
events and emergent trends. The videos are accompanied by four
categories of written blog posts — Bloom Report, Industry Trends,
Mark’s Corner and Market Updates — that will also be updated on
a monthly basis and provide additional information for visitors to
learn more about the almond industry.
“This blog is an excellent tool for our global ingredient customers
to keep informed of the factors that drive their business,” Bill
Morecraft, General Manager for the Global Ingredient Division,
said. “We’re encouraging all our customers to subscribe to the blog.”
Debbie Rogoff, one of Blue Diamond’s Regional Sales Manager,
thinks the blog is an innovative idea. “This is a wonderful
opportunity to share with all of our customers and it’s a service that
no one else has,” she said. “What a huge value!”
