Food Manufacturers and Distributors

California's agriculture is the most productive and varied in the U.S., owing to the climate, topography, complex systems of water delivery and diverse population of growers in our state. This year, the ACG 101 annual Food & Ag program takes a look at a different aspect of this fertile industry: manufacturing and distribution.  

According to the Food Packaging Trends and Advances report from PMMI, (the association for Packaging and Processing Technologies), the US Food Industry is forecast to grow at a steady 2.9% CAGR through 2022. New products are coming to market quicker than ever before, with natural/organic food and drink finding their way to increasing amounts of premium shelf space.

 Join us at the Westlake Village Inn on March 6th as our panel of seasoned experts tackles subjects such as adapting to consumer preferences, attracting and retaining talent, labor costs, and M&A activity in this fast-paced sector.
