“We joined the Southeast Produce Council one year after its inception, and we have been exhibiting at the Southern Exposure conference and expo every year since,” Charlie Eagle, vice president of business development for Southern Specialties, headquartered in Pompano Beach, FL, told The Produce News.

And it will have another great opportunity to demonstrate its wide range of specialty produce, along with its commitment to continue to provide excellent customer service, sourcing and delivering the best quality fresh produce at the Southern Exposure conference and expo.
