The PMA is an exhibition where American retailers meet the produce industry. Exhibitors mainly are Latin-American growers and exporters who can meet the demands of this mass market. Like the PMA itself, the Floral Zone is getting bigger and bigger every year. Over the last couple of years a growth of 50% was noticed.
