BLOOM FRESH™ recently welcomed more than 250 licensees and industry partners from 17 countries to Fruitworks | The BLOOM FRESH™ Discovery Center in California for its Global Open Day.

Bringing together the global table grape industry, the event provided a forum to exchange market insights, explore new varieties and experience first-hand the innovation shaping the future of the category.
