Fresh Produce Safety Centre welcomes two new supporters
The Fresh Produce Safety Centre welcomes two businesses as new supporters of the Centre: Fresh Markets Australia and the Freshmax Group.
“We are delighted to welcome Freshmax and Fresh Markets Australia to our growing supporter base,” said FPSC Chairman Michael Worthington.
“It is by the fresh produce industry coming together and working collaboratively that we will be able to achieve our mission of enhancing fresh produce food safety through research, outreach and education,” he said.
“The addition of these two important fresh produce organisations will considerably strengthen the Fresh Produce Safety Centre’s industry reach.”
The Freshmax Group consists of a number of Australian, New Zealand and US Fresh Produce Marketers. The group includes: Freshmax New Zealand, Freshmax Australia, Deluca Banana Marketing, Valleyfresh and Crasborn Fresh Harvest.
Fresh Markets Australia is the national organisation representing each of the six Market Chambers, which themselves are organisations which represent in excess of 430 the fruit and vegetable wholesalers located in each of Australia’s six central Markets (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Newcastle).
“This gives us a great opportunity to support the projects that relate specifically to our business and that of our suppliers and clients” says Ross Kane, Freshmax Group CEO. “The work that the PMA are doing through this initiative is impressive and so important to our industry that we had to get involved.”
Fresh Markets Australia and the Freshmax Group will both be joining the Fresh Produce Safety Centre at the Bronze supporter level.
