Sourcing produce internationally means we’re sometimes separated by land and sea from our suppliers. John Vena has been hard at work at the Fruit Attraction in Spain, not only gaining insight on the latest in the produce industry, but getting valuable face-to-face time with our coconut supplier. Vashini Agro works directly with our imports team to deliver the freshest brown dry coconuts from India to the US market. We’re happy we got to connect with them during the event!

Thirteen years ago today the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market opened its doors as the world’s largest fully-enclosed and fully-refrigerated wholesale produce market…and we are proud that our home (which has been improved and upgraded over the years) remains the country’s most innovative produce market facility! We are wishing PWPM a happy birthday today!

We have been a part of the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market community since the very beginnings on Dock Street and we are proud to remain partners with the strong group of wholesalers, retailers, foodservice distributors, and countless independent businesses who sell and source here.
The Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market is vital to the successes of thousands of businesses and growers throughout the area and is a major driver of the City of Brotherly Love being an excellent produce town. Produce has always been a huge part of the region, beginning as early as colonial times. What started on Dock Street eventually moved to the Food Distribution Center (from 1959 until 2011) and now the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market is the only fully-enclosed, fully-refrigerated produce market in the world — and many of its businesses date back more than 100 years.

We appreciate this column from Carole Shandler in Produce Business Magazine that neatly sums up the challenge that has been facing wholesalers during the past decades - and highlights the amazing adaptations we have developed as an industry. No rearview mirror, indeed!

John Vena has been hard at work walking the seemingly endless floor at FRUIT LOGISTICA in Berlin, connecting with our suppliers, exploring the newest trends in the global produce industry, and building new relationships. Times have changed in produce, but when it comes to high stakes import relationships, face-to-face connection is still of paramount importance for long term success. We hope others agree. We would like to see trade shows remain relevant for players of all sizes and at all stages of the supply chain, not just the biggest global conglomerates!

We stand behind the work the International Fresh Produce Association is doing to support and protect the USDA’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (#WIC). We believe that WIC is a crucial part of the support network our country offers mothers and their children - and we also believe that fresh fruit and vegetable benefits must be preserved. At a time when nearly half of all children do not eat a daily vegetable, it is more important than ever to invest in access to #freshproduce! We encourage all of our partners to consider supporting their campaign by using their quick and easy advocacy tool to reach the appropriate representatives here: https://lnkd.in/eq-FUPMy
Today, the International Fresh Produce Association launched this campaign defending the Women, Infants & Children program and urging Congress to entirely fund the program's #freshproduce cash value benefit. This matters because proposed funding cuts will devastate the #nutrition security of millions of families and deal a sizeable annual economic loss (estimated at $1.2B) for growers and retailers. #WICNationalDayofAction
