Dozens of American agricultural producers and exporters participated in the annual Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA)’s Annual Convention and Trade Show at the Vancouver Convention Centre last week. The event is CPMA’s keystone event and Canada’s largest event dedicated to the fruit and vegetable industry.
The event provides a unique forum for industry leaders to enhance their business opportunities in Canada through an exceptional combination of education and networking opportunities. Staff from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Ottawa-based Foreign Agriculture Service were on hand to liaise with the American companies and talk about their work in Canada, including Taste Us!, a U.S. Food and Beverage Alliance initiative which increases awareness of the availability and quality of American agricultural commodities in Canada.
Meet some of the U.S. food producers and their products.
