It was also highly motivating to listen to the conference “Latitudes and Adaptation” by Alberto Lati. In a simple, friendly, and emotional manner, this acclaimed sports commentator conveyed the importance of continuous improvement, resilience, and always giving extra effort to achieve our dreams, regardless of the industry in which we participate.

Also noteworthy was the signing of a collaboration agreement between Veggies from Mexico/CAADES and the Canadian Dispute Resolution Corporation (DRC), an organization aimed at resolving commercial disputes between growers, distributors, brokers, buyers, retailers, and all those involved in the purchase and sale of fresh fruits and vegetables in Canada and the United States. Marte Vega Roman signed on behalf of CAADES, while Luc Mougeot, President of DRC, and Jaime Bustamante, Director of Trading Assistance of DRC, signed on behalf of DRC. Enrique Riveros, President of AARC, Mario Haroldo Robles, Director of CIDH, and Georgius Gotsis Fontes of Veggies from Mexico acted as witnesses.
