West Pak Avocado, Inc., of Murrieta, California is pleased to announce that the global produce supplier is exhibiting for the first time at the Canadian Produce Marketing Association Annual Convention & Trade Show. Known as CPMA, this event takes place April 24 - 26, 2018 at the Vancouver Convention Centre and is Canada’s largest trade show dedicated to the fruit and vegetable industry.
CPMA is a forum for industry leaders to enhance their business opportunities in Canada through a combination of education and networking opportunities. The show attracts over 3000 participants from all segments of the produce supply chain, and showcases produce from around the world. Buyers from major retail chains such as Costco, Walmart, and Safeway; and foodservice distributors such as Farm Boy, Gordon, and H.Y. Louie participate in the event.
“The production of avocados worldwide is changing very dramatically, very quickly,” mentions Christine Connell of West Pak’s Export Sales division. “Now the international marketplace is the hottest part of sales for all of the avocados right now. West Pak has always focused on building relationships while offering the best possible service to our clients; something not every produce company does, even in this competitive market. At CPMA we look to expand our international reach within Canada and to offer our family to the north this same level of respect and service.”
Kellen Newhouse
Vice President of Global Sourcing and International Business Development Kellen Newhouse adds, “This is the first year exhibiting at CPMA, and our team is excited about the prospects it may bring. As growers and packers in both California and Mexico, we have a lot to bring to the table. With our dedication to customer service and our commitment to providing the best possible product and customized offerings, we feel that West Pak is a perfect fit for the Canadian market.”
