TORONTO — The Canadian Produce Marketing Association held its annual convention and trade show April 28-30, here, drawing attendees from around the globe who perused the more than 350 booths and learned about the latest offerings in the Canadian market.

Canadian Produce Marketing Association President Ron Lemaire delivered a clear and confident message April 29 at the Association’s 2026 annual convention: Canada’s fresh produce sector operating under real pressure — but it is not breaking.

Addressing industry leaders from across the supply chain, Lemaire framed the state of the sector around a central theme of adaptive capacity — the ability of the produce industry to flex, adjust, and perform under sustained strain while continuing to deliver food security, affordability and resilience for Canadians.

Windset Farms is bringing fresh innovation to this year's Canadian Produce Marketing Association Convention and Trade Show in Toronto, April 28-30, showcasing its latest greenhouse-grown product introductions and continued focus on delivering high-flavor, premium produce with peak color, quality and consistency.
