Featured Case Study · Sandals Resorts
How Sandals sourced 70% of fresh produce parish-direct across seven properties.
After two years of running a centralised produce contract through third-party distributors, the Sandals procurement team moved its fresh-produce buying to FarmersMarket JA under a single parish-level framework. Each of the seven participating properties now places one weekly order against a curated, RADA-verified catalogue—with every crate traceable back to named growers in St. Ann, St. Elizabeth and St. Mary.
“We were paying for traceability we couldn’t prove. Now the chef in Negril can scan a yam crate and see the farmer’s name and the harvest date—that’s the change.” — Group Procurement Lead, Sandals Resorts
