AMHPAC hopes attendees will be able to apply everything they learned in Guadalajara and use these new tools in a practical way in their agricultural operations through teamwork. The organization also hopes attendees were able to create and strengthen networks with their colleagues from other companies, with the aim of promoting unity in the produce industry.
What was discussed during the workshop was not just a theoretical approach, but also how to implement strategies in the best companies in Mexico to continue growing.
