Miami, FL – Continental Fresh is proud to announce that it has been awarded First Place in the Brand Citizenship category at the National Agri-Marketing Association’s (NAMA) 2025 Best of NAMA Awards.

Following regional recognition in January, Continental Fresh advanced to the national competition, receiving top honors for its Water For All campaign—a purpose-driven marketing and PR initiative highlighting the company’s commitment to improving access to clean water in Latin America.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from NAMA,” said Albert Perez, CEO of Continental Fresh. “The Water For All campaign represents more than a message; it’s a movement. We believe that fresh produce can serve a greater purpose, and this award reinforces our mission to use agriculture as a force for good.”
