An Introduction to PACA – In Spanish

The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) was enacted at the request of the fruit and vegetable industry to promote fair trade in the industry. PACA protects businesses dealing in fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables by establishing and enforcing a code of fair business practices and helping companies resolve business disputes. Patrick Romero, the webinar speaker, will detail how PACA helps companies resolve business disputes and protects the fruit and vegetable industry and ultimately, your business.

This webinar will be conducted in Spanish.

Romero is the Regional Director in the Western Regional PACA office in Tucson, Arizona. He has been with PACA for 23 years. He has conducted numerous outreach seminars to growers and shippers from the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala.
