"We arrived in the middle of the harvest," Almeida said. "The weather conditions were perfect for the harvest, and it is a vintage year for garlic quality from Argentina this season. We will be marketing new-crop Argentina garlic by the New Year holiday."
The relationships that the company has built with its partners go beyond garlic. With its partners, I Love Produce has also supported a local foosball/table soccer group in Argentina for blind and wheelchair athletes.

"Our whole team is very proud of what we have accomplished working with this special group of foosball players," said Provost. "With our grower partners, we raised funds to purchase nine professional foosball tables from Italy, and we purchased a truck to help transport the tables and players to tournaments. Table Soccer has officially received sporting recognition from the Argentine Paralympic Committee because of the efforts of the local organization and our joint efforts."
This achievement represents a step forward for the growth and inclusion of foosball around the world. It also highlights the power of the sport to unite people of all abilities and foster a strong sense of community.
