About The Packer

More about The Packer, ThePacker.com and Packer Premium

There's no argument that The Packer is the fresh fruit and vegetable industry's leading source for news, information and analysis. The Packer has been reporting every week on the produce industry since 1893. Subscribers receive the newspaper 52 weeks a year plus two annual issues, The Guide and Fresh Trends. Additionally, your subscription can save you money on Packer Premium.

ThePacker.com provides access to a great deal of information for free, without required registration. However, a Packer Premium option provides much deeper content for a marginal fee. Packer Premium content includes unlimited article downloads and can be accessed for only $20 per year for individuals who currently have an individual subscription to The Packer newspaper. For non-subscribers to The Packer newspaper, Packer Premium is available at a stand-alone price of $89 (U.S. funds).
