UNITED fRESH PRODUcE aSSOcIaTION

United Fresh Produce Association is a total produce industry association, representing members throughout the entire fresh produce supply chain from grower through retail and foodservice, including allied suppliers and associations serving the industry. United Fresh is unique among produce trade associations in that every sector of the supply chain has its own special focus in association leadership, giving a strong voice to each sector to better ensure an overall united voice for the industry. Member leaders nominated for service from different segments of the produce chain are chosen in direct proportion to the association’s overall membership.

More than 450 individuals are currently serving in elected or appointed positions of leadership within United Fresh. Their goal is to bring expertise, wisdom and unique perspectives together to provide direction that best represents the entire membership. Since its formation over 100 years ago in 1904, our association has brought the fresh produce industry together to accomplish more than any one of us could alone.

We invite all members to participate in association leadership. Please let us know what areas of service are of special interest to you!

The Critical Need for Labor and Immigration ReformHosted by the United Fresh Government Relations CouncilRoom 5B, Upper Level, Convention Center

No other industry in America is as dependent upon an immigrant workforce as the labor-intensive fruit and vegetable sector. With tightening borders, mandatory E-verify, and real shortages of workers across the country, the produce industry can no longer wait for a solution to the immigration crisis with unauthorized workers in the country today, and a workable guest worker program to meet future needs. Congress is finally addressing these issues seriously, but a final solution is not yet here. This session will focus on late-breaking information on Congressional negotiations and our industry’s efforts to finally resolve this critical economic policy issue.

Multi-Cultural Marketing & Merchandising Today, more than one-third of the U.S. population is multicultural. By 2040, that number will rise to one half.

But those who ignore the changing marketplace—or make only token efforts—will not find success.

In this session, we’ll take a look at different population demographics and their buying habits, and then take a deeper dive into the shopping and consumption patterns of Hispanic consumers, one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population.
