Walmart is enhancing its support for American-made goods amid growing consumer interest. The company has introduced a new initiative called "Grow with US," aimed at assisting small businesses, particularly those producing domestically made products. This program will provide training, mentorship, and resources to help small businesses thrive with Walmart.
Walmart's U. S. CEO, John Furner, highlighted that over 60% of their U. S. suppliers are small businesses. With the ongoing trade tensions with China, there may be an increased focus on domestic sourcing. In a recent commitment, Walmart plans to invest an additional $350 billion in U. S. -made goods over the next decade, potentially generating more than 750,000 American jobs.
Additionally, Walmart is launching a partnership with the Beef Initiative to connect consumers with local ranchers producing healthy, locally sourced beef. This initiative aims to support small farmers and ranchers while promoting healthy eating in America.
Walmart's efforts align with the broader goal of revitalizing America's manufacturing base through initiatives that increase domestic production and sourcing.
