Pure Flavor is showcasing the many ways its fresh greenhouse grown fruits and vegetables can help "shake up the menu" at this month’s IFPA Foodservice Conference in Monterey, CA.

Inflation continues to tighten the belts of consumers as produce prices continue to climb. This week, potato prices were up 4 percent over the previous week. The earliest relief will most likely come from Washington in August, according to Mark Campbell, founder and CEO of ProduceIQ.

Nash Produce, a leading supplier of sweet potatoes, is excited to talk about its increased storage and improved product quality at this year’s International Fresh Produce Association’s The Foodservice Conference, taking place July 28-29 in Monterey, CA.

Fresh Solutions Network announced the important role of its network of farmers and potato products. In a newly released report, Potato Market – Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022-27), experts noted positive trends in the potato market during the future forecast period as potatoes continue to gain popularity during concerns over food security, inflation, supply constraints, and health.

London Fruit Inc. is adding Jorge Hernandez to its leadership team. Hernandez is the company's new business development director and brings a wealth of avocado procurement and operations expertise with over 20 years of experience in the produce industry.

“We are very excited to welcome Jorge back to our team and look forward to working together to grow our current commodities’ market share and develop our off-shore offerings,” said Jerry Garcia, vice president.

The 2022 Organic Produce Summit's return to the Monterey Conference Center after a two-year, COVID-related absence resulted in the biggest and best show yet. Aisles were full from the opening bell on Thursday, July 14, until the doors were shut about five hours later. More than 300 retailers were in attendance and the excitement level was sky high for the sold-out trade show.
