ATLANTA, GA — The International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral Show boasted about 3,000 buyers and attendees from more than 70 countries, one one of the largest expo floors in a decade.
Making it from one end to the other on the wishbone-shaped floor was a feat. I spent two days perusing primarily fresh produce booths while my colleague stuck to technology and business solutions.
When you’re walking a show floor of this magnitude, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with everything that’s on display.
I like to cover these events with an eye to what got me to stop, take a second look, or…even better…ask questions. I feel like that’s a great way to think about it when we’re all wondering what attracts a buyer’s eyes.
Spice World displayed some new pouch bags of diced garlic, a fresh alternative to the jarred version, along with a new peeled ginger pouch bags. Peeled ginger is a new one for me.
