Throughout the event, exhibitors held business meetings with new clients and previous clients alike. INC Chairman Michael Waring commented, "the nut and dried fruit industry has been on trend for the last 10 years," and the active atmosphere of the pavilion with many visitors served as a clear example of this ongoing trend.
Additionally, on Monday, February 14, the INC Cocktail returned, providing a wonderful environment for networking and catching up with old industry colleagues. For some, it was the first time in two years that they were able to meet in-person. The relaxing but professional atmosphere of the INC Cocktail resulted in an outstanding evening where INC members from all over the world were finally able to be under the same roof and discuss the sector. INC Executive Director, Goretti Guasch commented, "over the past few days we have seen a very heavy traffic flow of people with lots of business taking place and fantastic networking opportunities and new contacts being made."
