The Peruvian Asparagus Importers Association (PAIA) will participate at PMA Fresh Summit in Orlando, Florida, October 18th-20th. “Peruvian asparagus importers and industry service providers consider PMA’s Fresh Summit an important conference to exhibit quality produce, meet with customers, and network with the professionals of the agricultural industry,” states Priscilla Lleras-Bush, PAIA Coordinator.
“The Fresh Summit provides a platform to showcase Peruvian asparagus to the U.S. market and beyond,” add Lleras-Bush. “PAIA importers and industry service providers will be walking the Fresh Summit Exhibit Floor networking and ready with time to talk about Peruvian asparagus and the advances within the trade industry!”
Many of PAIA’s membership will host booths to spotlight / display their quality products and services. PAIA Importers and Industry Service Providers would like to personally invite you to come by their booths and meet with them while at this year’s PMA Fresh Summit. “For our membership walking the show, make sure to contact the PAIA membership in advance to set up a meeting while at Fresh Summit to talk about Peruvian asparagus,” affirms Lleras-Bush. “We always look forward to meeting with press, industry and our valued customers.”
