January 23, 2024 Newark, DE. and Washington, D.C. – Commitment, innovation, and service are the hallmarks of the International Fresh Produce Association BB #:378962 Retail Produce Manager Awards.

Nominations opened in mid-January, and IFPA encourages all members of the produce industry to nominate a deserving produce manager for this prestigious award.

This year, IFPA honors 20 top retail produce managers for their dedication to boosting fresh produce sales, innovative merchandising, community service, and shopper satisfaction. Winners will be recognized at The Global Produce & Floral Show in Atlanta, GA, in October. Five of the winners will take home the coveted Grand Prize Winner Award.

“Anyone can nominate a produce manager for this award. Retailers know who their stellar performers are, and suppliers clearly see which managers are getting the job done. We appreciate everyone who nominates these frontline stars.”

Watson acknowledged award program sponsor, Robinson Fresh BB #:100586, for its commitment to recognizing and encouraging outstanding store-level performance.
