The New England Produce Council, Burlington, Mass., has postponed a dinner meeting event.

The March 18 event is canceled “due to heightened concern regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on travel restrictions,” according to an e-mail sent to NEPC members March 6.

The council’s board of directors, together with event sponsor Dole Food Co., decided to reschedule this event, but a new date hasn’t been set yet.
