“I feel like it is our opportunity to spotlight the contributions U.S importers of fresh fruits and vegetables from Mexico make to the health of North America. Also, the consistency of availability of fruits and vegetables has enabled chefs and consumers to expand their offerings to customers and families with a variety of recipes with product that is now available year-round,” commented Rod Sbragia, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Crown Jewels Produce.
Will we see you? The expo this year takes place from November 7-9, 2024, at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona.
