In order to see the whole picture of a puzzle it’s necessary to interlace the pieces. These pieces are questions and players that take any part in the food industry of North America. With this in mind the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas(FPPA) looks forward to another exciting and informative event, the annual Spring Policy Summit on March 15-16, 2016.
“At the FPAA, we believe that being involved in the discussions that take place during the establishment and implementation of policies and norms, understanding their background, furthermore participating in the exchange of ideas, suggestions and concerns can only facilitate our overall comprehension and ease the path to compliance in the operations of our business,” said Lance Jungmeyer, president of FPAA.
Topics covered will include responses to new food safety regulations, facilitating cross-border trade, threats and opportunities of the Trans Pacific Partnership as well as how the industry can benefit from banking regulations and their impact on business growth.
The summit begins on March 15 with a presentation on US-Mexico Produce Food Safety Working Group and an update on the Safe Food For Canadians Act. This is followed by a tour of two warehouses and a welcoming reception at the end of the day. Most of the discussions and working panels will take place on March 16 starting at 8:30 a.m. The Tubac Golf Resort and SPA will serve as a venue for all the scheduled meetings.
