Zespri's 2025 season outperformed previous sales periods, with a retail sales increase of 46 percent year over year. To further build on this momentum, retailers and trade show attendees can learn more about what Zespri has in store for another exciting season, including a preview of a new consumer campaign and marketing programs, when they stop by Zespri’s booth — No. 825 — during the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure trade show in Orlando, FL, Feb. 26 – March 1.

Harps Food Stores is moving forward with HarvestHold Fresh, the postharvest solution from Verdant Technologies, following a successful broccoli pilot conducted in collaboration with grower partner Ocean Mist Farms that delivered measurable gains in broccoli quality and retail sell-through across its iceless broccoli supply chain.

All aspects of the Southeast Produce Council's Southern Exposure 2026, from the networking events to the opening gala, from the educational sessions to the vibrant speakers, from the keynote brunch to the expo, will reflect and build on this year's theme: From Fields to Families -- Nourishing Our Nation.

Officials at Ocean Mist Farms intend on making something very good even better and quickly showcasing it to attendees at the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure. 

Not only are officials at Consalo Family Farms eager to show their wares at the upcoming Southeast Produce Council Southern Exposure show, but they are just as excited to talk to attendees about the company’s long and successful history as a grower of many types of produce.
