NYPS trade show a flurry of activity
December 11, 2024
The 2024 New York Produce Show trade show kicked off at the Javits Center the morning of Dec. 11 and traffic remained strong throughout the day. The one-day show featured more than 400 companies — and more than 4,000 attendees were expected. Buyers make up 40 percent of attendees and all exhibitors have the same-sized booth, which means all companies are on an equal playing field.
