Retail and foodservice buyers from across the state get a chance to connect with wholesalers
Perth Markets is celebrating the arrival of the stone fruit season with its Back to Market Buyers’ Day, a free event reconnecting Perth’s fresh food retailers and service providers with Western Australia’s leading wholesalers.
The event will be held on Thursday, 20 November, at the Perth Markets site in Canning Vale from 6:00am to 8:00am.
The Back to Market Buyers’ Day is a chance for retailers and service providers to reconnect with Western Australia’s fresh produce hub and wholesalers, strengthen industry ties, and experience the season’s finest local fruit and vegetables firsthand.
The day will feature industry information stalls, complimentary food and coffee for guests, and media interviews. Guests can also join a special chef’s tour hosted by Perth Markets ambassador Rachael Torre of Wholefood Circus. The tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at the market buying process and the chance to meet the people behind Western Australia’s fresh produce scene.
Perth Markets chief executive officer, Scott Gibson, said the initiative is part of Perth Markets’ ongoing commitment to strengthening the supply chain and the importance of buyers developing relationships with the state’s wholesalers.
“Perth Markets has always been more than a place to buy and sell produce, they’re a meeting point for our industry,” Gibson said.
“By coming together, buyers, wholesalers and growers strengthen the local supply chain and ensure Western Australians continue to enjoy the freshest, highest-quality produce.
“This event gives Perth businesses the opportunity to experience the incredible variety of fresh produce available at the Markets – the kind of quality and range you simply don’t see when ordering online or over the phone – and to discover new ways to save money for their business.”
