WASHINGTON, DC - Coming soon is the kickoff of the International Fresh Produce Association’s (IFPA) newly designed Mexico Conference! Taking place May 22–23, in Guadalajara, the exciting event brings together the entire fresh produce supply chain to discuss global insights on produce safety, labor, the state of the Mexican market, and more.

“The produce supply chain in Mexico is built on strong partnerships and innovation,” said IFPA Mexico Country Manager Rubén Ramírez. “The Mexico Conference is the only event in Mexico that unites the entire supply chain, and with our close proximity to the U.S., it provides an unmatched opportunity to build business connections. We have intentionally designed the event to create as many opportunities as possible for growing our members’ businesses, from the business roundtables to the integrated exhibits, and intentional networking built into the schedule.”

The event brings valuable opportunities for growth as leaders, business owners, and decision-makers connect and exhibit their products and innovations.

In addition to buyer roundtables, each education session is followed by a coffee and networking break that takes place in an exhibitor space. As a press release detailed, the booths give attendees a chance to share their innovations and products but also explore potential products or services for their businesses.

The education sessions focus on several hot industry topics influencing the Mexico market and beyond. The conference will feature a presentation on consumer trends and a full state of the market report for Mexico. In addition, Dr. Emily Moyer of IFPA, and leaders from the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) will unveil a new training platform and tools designed to support organizations as they look to bolster their operational compliance.

The conference will also dive into the current trends and challenges that will shape the Mexican labor force over the next decade, giving attendees an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this dynamic cross-border labor environment.
