THE PRODUCE WORLD 🌎 PREPARES TO MEET IN ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA

 













The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) Global Produce & Floral Show in Anaheim is expected to have over 20,000 attendees. 



This includes more than 1,000 exhibitors and a significant number of professionals with purchasing power from all over the world.  



The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) CONVENTION, officially known as the Global Produce & Floral Show, will be in Anaheim, California, from October 16-18, 2025. It will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center. 




The IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show has a vast number of exhibitors, with over 1,000 companies showcasing their products and services. 




While "largest" can refer to many things (booth size, company size, influence), the exhibitor list for the 2025 show includes many well-known names in the produce and floral industries.  

Some of the most prominent exhibitors often have very large and elaborate booths to showcase their products, and these can include:




• Major produce companies and grower-shippers: Companies like Driscoll's, Grimmway/Cal-Organic Farms, and Mastronardi Produce are typically major presences at the show.  




• Produce commissions and associations: The California Avocado Commission, Idaho Potato Commission, and Avocados From Mexico, among others, often have large, impactful displays.




• Technology and solutions providers: Companies offering solutions for the supply chain, such as Apeel Sciences and logistics providers like Americold, often have a strong presence.




The IFPA's official exhibitor list or floor plan from the convention's website would provide the most definitive and up-to-date information on the exhibitors and their booth sizes.

In addition to being picked and eaten fresh, Native Americans incorporated blueberries into a variety of dishes that include soups, stews, preserves and puddings. However, early uses of the blueberry extended far beyond cultural cuisine, spilling into medicinal uses in combination with roots, stems, leaves and flowers. Known today as the highbush variety, the plant natively stretched from the arctic plains across what is now the United States down through Mexico and into some parts of South America.  Although this information about the disease is surfacing only recently, samples that were analyzed in the study conducted by the University of North Carolina incl...

India: Mangoes It’s probably not a huge surprise that India takes the top spot on the list of the world’s biggest mango producers — the tropical fruit is native to the region and accounts for  50%  of the world supply.  But what you might not know is that mangoes from India only became an export available to the U.S. in the late aughts, when President George W.
