Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) Show

Canada produces a significant amount of food domestically, but there are gaps in production due to seasonal limitations and geographic constraints. The extreme low temperatures in Canada restrict its ability to produce certain commodities year-round, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables. Importing these products allows Canadian’s access to a wider variety of fresh produce that can meet consumer demand throughout the year. Consequently, the U.S. serves as a significant supplier of fresh produce to Canada, and many products grown in the Southern U.S. are in high demand in Canada.

The Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) is a not-for-profit organization that represents companies that are active in the marketing of fresh fruits and vegetables in Canada from the farm gate to the dinner plate. CPMA is the largest fresh produce trade event in the Canadian industry and provides a unique opportunity for industry leaders to enhance existing relationships and develop new business opportunities in Canada.
