Passion for Produce
The Passion for Produce (PFP) program, celebrating its 13th year, was created by CPMA to provide rising stars within the produce industry the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the supply chain through mentorship and participation in various events. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these individuals to learn about the produce industry in an interactive setting, while providing education on key aspects of the produce supply chain from “field to fork”. Keep an eye out for the PFP participants wearing their Passion for Produce red vests throughout the Convention and Trade Show!
