The Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) organized a trade mission to Idaho, inviting representatives from Comestibles Maldonado a company with over 40 years of experience importing fruits and vegetables to visit the state and meet with local growers and packers.
During the mission, participants toured the facilities of:
- Sunglo
- Sunfresh
- Driscoll
- Potandon
In addition to visiting the fields, facilities, and learning about the unique quality protocols of Idaho potatoes, the buyers held meetings with executives and managers from each company to discuss opportunities to promote Idaho potato purchases.
Thanks to this well-planned and strategic mission, Comestibles Maldonado established key business relationships, resulting in the immediate purchase of 20 truckloads of Idaho potatoes.
The success of this trade mission strengthened the product’s presence in the Latin American market and opened more business opportunities.
