Produce Marketing Association (PMA) has decided it will be unable to put on Fresh Summit 2021 scheduled for October 28-30 in New Orleans, Louisiana, due to the impacts of Hurricane Ida and Tropical Storm Nicholas.
PMA has invited the industry to join them in making contributions to organizations involved in the long recovery efforts in the New Orleans region including the American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen.
It has been widely reported that the infrastructure in New Orleans and the surrounding area has been significantly disrupted with the city itself being declared a federal disaster area.
Even with power being restored to the area, it will take time to address other aspects of the city’s resources including labor and more.
PMA is working with all exhibitors, vendors, and registered guests to discuss options and next steps. All those looking to speak with a member of the PMA team should refer to their email which will have relevant details.
