DEC '23-JAN '24

Welcome to the December 2023 | January 2024 edition of the AGRIFOODSA Magazine.

This year has been a wonder to observe between rising inflation, elevating costs, dynamic environmental events, solidification, and a changing consumer that has become more sceptical but also more invested. 2023 has also been a year of connection, authenticity, reinvention, and gratitude for the agriculture and food industries. Regardless of how we wrestle with time, relationships are everything, and fresh produce, innovative products and exceptional service continues to be a testament to this statement

Our cover featured advertiser for this edition is the Perishable Products Export Control Board. The PPECB is an independent service provider of quality certification and cold chain management services for producers and exporters of perishable food products.
