The 2023 Packer 25 is our annual tribute to 25 leaders, innovators and agents of change across the fresh produce supply chain.

Each year, The Packer invites its internal staff and the produce industry at large to nominate distinguished veterans, leaders and rising stars of the fresh produce industry. As always, our editorial team was energized and awed by the talented pool of nominees this year.

Now in its 19th year, The Packer is once again spotlighting 25 dynamic and inspiring people who are moving the produce industry forward.
