Port’s Winter Fruit Season, with over 50 people attending the Port of Wilmington in Delaware, USA, in person, and a further 30 participating online, the event provided a platform for all partners to discuss any changes for the upcoming season’s programme.
Running from December 2021 through May 2022, the season is a peak time for the South American fruit growers, so to ensure everyone is on the same page is vital to a successful season.
