Did you ever wondered how your local markets find produce,
vegetable-based products, and items like nuts, dried fruits, grains, etc. to
put on their shelves? The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) is a large part
of this process. PMA is a trade organization that represents companies from
every segment of the global fresh produce and floral supply chain. PMA helps
members grow by providing connections that expand business opportunities and
increase sales and consumption. The expo not only showcases produce and
products, but innovative shelving for markets and packaging machinery for
farmers and distributors. This year’s event took over the entire Anaheim
Convention Center floor with seminars and classes going on upstairs as well.
Here’s an inside look on some of the new products that you might see in
your local market this coming year:
Melissa’s Produce, from Los Angeles, CA, USA, has a new line of CleanSnax
made with chia and flaxseed. They come in 4 flavors – Almond, Cranberry,
Coconut, and Pumpkin Seed. The bite-size pieces are perfect for snacking at
home or pack it for a day hike.
