Description
This week we’ve been celebrating America’s 247th birthday! Our Walmart U.S. team is honored to serve this great country, and one of the most impactful ways we do that is selling products that come from this country. We’re proud that about 2/3rds of our product spend is on items made, grown or assembled in the U.S.
For this Huddle episode, I visited an Arkansas rice farm with one of our merchants, Melody Richard. Melody and I spoke to the farmer, Dustin, about how he grows his rice and what selling rice to Walmart means for him and his community.
There’s also an exciting regeneration story: Walmart and our partners are working with Dustin and other Arkansas farmers to grow their rice using less water and with less greenhouse gas emissions. It’s really exciting, and Melody explained it so well in this episode.
Please watch, and learn how even a single bag of rice can support livelihoods in America AND regeneration.
