Onions 52 will showcase its year-round onion program at the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure in Orlando, Fla., from March 6-8.

The program features premium yellow, red, white, sweet and certified organic onions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to experience Smileys — a naturally tearless and sweet onion — available for a limited time, according to a news release.

Attendees can visit Booth No. 805 to learn more about Onions 52’s commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability. With the recent East Coast expansion and opening of a new packing facility in Ohio, Onions 52 says it will highlight its transportation excellence and ability to serve customers nationwide.

“We look forward to SEPC every year and are excited to connect with peers and customers to highlight the versatility and superior quality of our onion offerings,” said Shawn Hartley, president for Onions 52. “We’re especially excited to showcase Smileys onions again. As a domestically grown sweet onion, Smileys is making waves in the sweet onion category. SEPC is the perfect opportunity for buyers to experience how this game-changing onion can drive incremental sales from fall to early spring.”
