What a time at CPMA Fresh Week 2026 in Toronto! The Oppy team connected with partners, showcased fresh produce alongside growers like Zespri, Envy apples, and UP Vertical Farms, and shared exciting news including our exclusive Canadian partnership for Sumo Citrus.

We were especially proud to host students from the University of the Fraser Valley, giving them a firsthand look at the produce industry and the people behind it.

Earth Month is a great time to think about how intentional your food choices are and how you can make a real difference for people and the planet. When you choose Fair Trade Certified products, your everyday purchases support farmers and workers creating real change in their communities.

Our grower partner Divemex is working on incredible projects — investing Fair Trade Premium funds into seven ongoing community development projects since 2021 that support workers and their families at every stage of life. From school buses that help kids get to class safely, to scholarships that make education possible, to emergency support to protect workers and their families, these initiatives are designed to reduce school dropout rates, improve health outcomes, and strengthen long-term quality of life.

Over 470,000 people have benefited from these community projects!

Every purchase fuels solutions designed by the people who know their communities best.
