“Over the last few years, the global cherry industry has seen major growth, specifically in Chile, Turkey and the United States,” O’Rourke. “I look forward to discussing how consumers around the world are driving the increased production in these countries and what this means for the market.”
“We know consumers eat with their eyes first, especially when they are purchasing produce,” said Cervantes. “Hazel 100™ helps maintain stem greenness, promotes longer shelf-life and gives high post-storage quality, so that the cherries you send to retailers, wholesalers and importers arrive at field-fresh perfection. I look forward to expanding on these benefits during the summit on March 31st.”
The Cherry Quality Summit is a free event and will offer both English and Spanish translations. Registration is open to the general industry until March 31st or until capacity is reached.
