With the Viva Fresh Expo around the corner, Farm Direct Supply, a global supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables, says it will introduce its new tropical brand, Tropiful, at this year’s show in Houston. 

Farm Direct Supply says the initial launch of Tropiful includes Ivory Red dragon fruit, Golden Glow dragon fruit and Tropical Tan-Tans rambutan.

The company will showcase the new product line at its Viva Fresh booth, No. 201.
