Orlando in October
is next year’s fruit.
IFPA sets 14–16 October 2026 in Orlando, Wednesday to Friday, and 20–22 October 2027 in Atlanta. The association says the schedule can change.
The International Fresh Produce Association places the 2026 Global Produce and Floral Show on 14–16 October in Orlando, on a Wednesday-to-Friday schedule. The same future-dates page places 2027 on 20–22 October in Atlanta. IFPA marks the schedule as subject to change. Confirm on freshproduce.com before you fly. Zarkaar does not publish a stand.
Mid-October is after Pakistani mango. The honest mango talk is the 2027 book: open it on 1 January, close Sindhri in mid-March, close Chaunsa at the end of April. USA mango is air via Dubai irradiation, 7–10 days, JFK, LAX, or ORD. The importer holds APHIS. The broker files FDA prior notice. Sea is refused in Orlando exactly as it is refused in Multan. Rice to the USA is a separate call and does not ride the fruit flight.
Split the badge into two crops
A produce show tempts people to blur them. Do not.
Mango, forward
There is nothing to taste. APHIS-grade cartons and the Dubai hop are the method. Hot water at 48°C still happens in Multan and does not replace irradiation. A 4,800-carton sea reefer is the wrong picture. Air and the irradiation slot are the picture. Canada is not this paragraph.
Rice
Specialty basmati can be discussed as its own file. It is not irradiated because the mango was. Do not ask the fruit desk to staple a rice contract to an APHIS carton.
Floral and equipment
We do not sell flowers, and we do not sell packing machines. If that is the appointment you booked, it is with someone else.
Atlanta is a different year
Do not write “Orlando” on a 2027 diary. IFPA’s page moves the show to Atlanta on 20–22 October 2027. By then the 2027 fruit will also be over, and the meeting will again be a forward book, that time for 2028. The sea refusal will not have expired because the city changed.
