Toronto is the home to the April 25-27 Canadian Produce Marketing Association Convention and Trade Show.

Canada’s largest event entirely dedicated to the fresh fruits and vegetable industry will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

“We are thrilled to welcome Canadian and international produce industry professionals back to Toronto,” Steve Bamford, chair of the CPMA 2023 Organizing Committee, said in a news release. “In addition to showcasing products and services of the produce supply chain, this year’s event is designed to offer exceptional opportunities for business development, education, networking, and socializing.” 

“Toronto is one of Canada’s most diverse and business-friendly cities where CPMA has, on numerous occasions, successfully held its annual Convention and Trade Show,” CPMA President Ron Lemaire said in the release. “CPMA is looking forward to bringing the produce sector together again in Toronto to mark its 98 years of advocating for the industry, driving produce consumption, and strengthening relationships to support produce business growth.”
