Regional Report 2025

25 September, 2025

Regional communities truly sit at the heart of our fresh food offering. It’s in these communities that our 48,000 team members across 530 regional stores live, work, and partner alongside more than 3,400 farmers, suppliers and manufacturers. 

And it is where our supply chain starts its journey, in the paddocks of our farmers, through to processing, packaging and distribution, to get the produce on our shelves and into the baskets of our customers.

Welcome to the 5th Regional Report

 

The 2025 Regional Report shares the supply journey of our produce and celebrates the collective contribution made by everyone along the way, from farmers to local communities to us. 

Our supply chain is an integration of people and processes embedded in regional Australia. 

This year’s report looks at the different steps in the supply chain journey and shares insights into what the journey looks like for two of our popular fresh products - berries and beef.

It also looks at why we prioritise contributing to regional communities.  

Be it supporting natural disaster response efforts or contributing to local community events, we support regional communities because it is where our team members work and live, it’s where the farmers, suppliers and manufactures we partner with operate is and it is where our supply chain journey starts in growing the quality produce that goes into our customers baskets.
