Farmfair International boosts accessibility with weekend schedule shift
Farmfair International is changing its scheduling format to include the weekend and hopefully attract even more attendees.
For example, it says buyers often include an option to extend a delivery period and while the average is 90 days, it can vary from 30 days to 180 days depending on the company and the contract offered.
The guide is free and can be downloaded at ccga.ca (opens as a PDF).
