Held over three days in early March, the AGM is a key moment in the fruit and vegetable sector’s calendar, offering a unique opportunity for collaboration, networking, and strategic decision-making.
The 2025 AGM, A Fresh Approach: Setting Goals, Achieving Success, highlights FVGC’s focus on setting ambitious goals and building strategies for success under new leadership.
