From avocados to zucchini and everything in between, the Georgia World Congress Centre in Atlanta was filled with a dizzying array of products last week as it hosted the Global Produce & Floral Show.
The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA), which presents the expo, said this year's show floor was more than 330,000 square feet, making it one of the largest in years.
And with a theme of "The Joy of Produce," organizers say this year's show boasted more than 1100 exhibitors from 32 countries and drawing attendees from more than 70 countries. The event also had more than 210 Fresh Ideas Showcases for new and innovative products.
