October brought international connections, industry discussions and strategic planning as the INC continued its work to advance the global nut and dried fruit industry.
Connecting at SIAL Paris
The INC Pavilion welcomed 37 co-exhibitors from 21 countries, providing a hub for networking and business opportunities. The new Sustainability Corner introduced visitors to the INC Sustainability Certification and its benefits. Thank you to all our co-exhibitors and to Frunut, sponsor of the INC Networking Reception.
Industry Insights and Strategic Progress
At the Australian Almond Conference in Adelaide, INC Chairman Ashok Krishen delivered a keynote on global tree nut supply and demand and joined a discussion on product innovation and consumption trends. He also addressed global cashew supply and trade dynamics at the VINACAS Golden Cashew Rendezvous in Viet Nam, where he showcased the INC’s promotional campaigns in Southeast Asia.
Meanwhile, the Executive Committee met in Copenhagen to review progress on the INC Strategic Plan 2026–2030 and discuss priorities for the months ahead.
Building Momentum into November
November began with ExpoNut in Chile, where Mr. Krishen participated in the opening ceremony and INC Executive Director Goretti Guasch joined a panel on consumer trends, marketing and quality. Next, Ms. Guasch will join ENAPecan in Brazil remotely on November 12 to present the global pecan market outlook and opportunities to encourage consumption.
