The United Fresh Produce Association will be presenting the data from its latest FreshFacts on Retail report, covering the first quarter of 2020, with a web seminar.

The seminar is at 2 p.m. Eastern May 29. It will take a deep dive into how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected retail prices and sales trends for leading produce categories, according to a news release.

By registering for the web seminar, attendees will receive a copy of the report before the seminar. Registration is online.

The report features cantaloupe, watermelon and corn, and also has a year-to-year comparison of the last three years’ third-quarter results to help companies plan for a successful third-quarter 2020.

Jeff Cady, director of produce and floral for Tops Friendly Markets, will moderate the web seminar, which will also feature analysis from Mike Galaburda, client director for Nielsen Fresh. There will also be a Q&A period and interactive discussion, according to the release.
