ATLANTA — From Peruvian tapas and wine tastings to a special appearance Oct. 18 by Blooper, the Atlanta Braves’ mascot, the Avocados from Peru booth at the recent International Fresh Produce Association Global Produce and Floral Show provided a vibrant venue to connect around Peruvian avocados throughout the two-day expo.
Avocados from Peru says the appearance of a major U.S. sports team mascot was a first for the IFPA show. Blooper’s presence “further elevat[ed] the energy and excitement of this key industry event,” said the Peruvian Avocado Commission.
Visitors to the booth had the chance to meet Blooper, take photos and enjoy delicious Peruvian tapas and wine while learning more about the health benefits and versatility of avocados from Peru.
“The collaboration between Avocados from Peru and the Atlanta Braves showcases our commitment to engaging consumers in new and exciting ways,” said PAC President Xavier Equihua. “We are thrilled to share the unique taste of Peruvian avocados and the rich cultural ties between Peru and the U.S. sports community.”
The PAC, which leads the promotion of Peruvian avocados in the U.S., said it played a pivotal role in organizing the event. Its efforts to highlight the quality and sustainability of avocados from Peru were on full display, as the PAC works closely with producers, exporters, importers and retailers to bring the best avocados to U.S. consumers, said Avocados from Peru.
Attendees also had the opportunity to learn about the avocado industry’s sustainable farming practices in Peru, including how Avocados from Peru continues to lead in environmental responsibility while delivering fresh, high-quality avocados to the U.S. market, the PAC said.
Avocados from Peru is a leading supplier of high-quality, sustainably grown avocados in the U.S. market. The PAC promotes the consumption of Peruvian avocados and educates consumers on the health benefits and environmental impact of the avocado industry.
