The Peruvian Asparagus Importers Association (PAIA) will participate at PMA Fresh Summit in Anaheim, California, October 26-28. Many PAIA importers will host booths at Fresh Summit to network, greet new prospects and say thank you to existing customers. Other PAIA members will be hosting suites for a multitude of meetings. Several importers and industry service providers from PAIA will be walking the Fresh Summit Exhibit Floor networking and will always have time to talk about Peruvian asparagus and the advances in the trade within our industry!

Many of the PAIA importers will host booths at Fresh Summit to display a wide variety of new presentations including value-added packaging. PAIA importers are well versed with merchandising ideas/tips and have plentiful suggestions that will assist in the promotion and increased sales of fresh Peruvian asparagus.
The Fresh Summit provides a platform to showcase Peruvian asparagus to the U.S. market and beyond. Priscilla Lleras, PAIA Coordinator adds, “Most if not all PAIA members will be attending PMA Fresh Summit, whether walking the show, exhibiting, participating in meetings or networking. We always have time to talk about Peruvian asparagus and the advances within our industry and we look forward to the interchange we can have with our valued customers during this time.”
The association will focus even greater efforts in 2012 on spreading the positive word to trade press, supermarkets and consumers concerning the benefits of fresh asparagus. Through articles, advertisements, direct-communication, and trade show participation, the association anticipates increasing consumption and demand for fresh asparagus in 2012.
