When the Women’s Fresh Perspectives Portfolio began, it was a breakfast meeting at what was then-known as PMA Fresh Summit.

Port Laredo has long been an important crossing point for goods from Mexico. In recent years, fresh produce has been a larger part of the equation as the port is making investments in the infrastructure to better serve the perishables industry.
