Expanding blueberry demand globally is top priority for USHBC. This isn’t limited to countries where blueberries are already popular, but also searching for expanding markets like Vietnam. In this episode, we have a discussion about the global demand outlook for blueberries. 

Hosts Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), and Alicia Adler, vice president of USHBC and NABC, are joined by Stacy Spivey, director of business development in North America at Alpine Fresh Inc. 

“There are so many opportunities out there. It’s just going to take some more vetting, conversations and travel.” - Stacy Spivey


Searching the globe for emerging markets is important for a healthy industry with a diverse customer base. Spivey and Alpine Fresh have a wealth of experience in international trade of produce.
