Seen and heard at IFPA's Global Produce and Floral Show 2024 — Part 6

ATLANTA — Expanded product availability, upcoming regulations and new opportunities for collaboration are among the conversations exhibitors had with attendees of the International Fresh Produce Association's Global Produce and Floral Show, held Oct. 17-19, at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Gotham Greens' highlighted its salad kits, which have expanded into Whole Foods, Kroger and Jewel-Osco.

"We're introducing two new salad dressings — Italian Vinaigrette and Avocado Lime," said Jodi Genshaft, vice president of marketing at Gotham Greens.

Gotham Greens also recently launched its Big Greens Salad, which can be found at Whole Foods and Kroger.

The Riveridge team served its fresh ciders including its Gala, Salted Caramel, Honeycrisp and Pumpkin Spice to its booth visitors.

Trish Taylor, marketing manager for Riveridge, said many attendees talked to the Riveridge team about exports due to higher freight costs.

"They're looking to save costs, and Michigan is a natural market for Central America," she said.

It was a great Global Produce and Floral Show for Alsum Farms and Produce.

"It's been meaningful conversations with retailers," said Christine Lindner, marketing manager with Alsum Farms and Produce. "It's been a fantastic show."

Lindner said Alsum growers finished harvest recently and it should be a good supply of Wisconsin russets, yellow, red and creamer potatoes.
