Why North Carolina sweet potato pricing could strengthen

North Carolina sweetpotato acreage down 40 percent in two years

Team members from Nash Produce will be taking advantage of every opportunity that the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure show has to offer.  

Nash Produce originated in 1977 as a large farming and produce packing/shipping operation focused on cucumbers, but in 2006, a collection of local growers saw the need for a packing facility, which led to the purchase of Nash Produce. Since then, the company has transitioned away from cucumbers to a more singular focus on sweet potatoes. Today, Nash Produce has dedicated itself to growing sweet potatoes and has become a leading supplier out of its farm in Nashville, NC.

Nash Produce will be showcasing its locally grown North Carolina sweet potatoes at this year’s New York Produce Show, exhibiting at booth No. 435. “We will be displaying varieties such as the purple Murasaki, the white Bonita, along with the orange Covington,” said Robin Narron, sales support and marketing director for the Nashville, NC-based company. “We will also be displaying our value-added packaging options that we have available.”

Nash Produce has been a member of the Southeast Produce Council and has been participating in Southern Innovations since the show’s origin. Since the SEPC show brings together a large number of its customers in one venue, it allows Nash Produce the opportunity to spend quality time with individuals in which the team normally spends many hours communicating with over phone, email or video chat.
