Executives from Wegmans, Costco and Sprouts will participate in the retail roundtable presentation at the Organic Produce Summit in July.

Organic Produce Network co-founder Tonya Antle will moderate the panel, which will include Dave Corsi, vice president of produce and floral for Wegmans Food Markets, Rochester, N.Y.; Heather Shavey, assistant vice president of global produce for Issaquah, Wash.-based Costco Wholesale Corp.; and Chad Miller, vice president for produce procurement at Sprouts Farmers Market, Phoenix.

The roundtable presentation will focus on how those retailers approach organic fresh produce and what challenges and opportunities exist in marketing those products, according to a news release.

We are thrilled to have three of the most influential, prominent and progressive retail leaders in the sales of organics as part of our program, Susan Canales, director of operations for the Organic Produce Summit, said in the release. With three different formats covering three geographical spheres, our attendees will gain insightful and useful information on how leading retailers are marketing organic fresh produce to consumers and the opportunities to drive sales into the future.

Organic fresh produce sales data from Nielsen and novel fast-food restaurant chain The Organic Coup will be the topics of other presentations at the summit.

The event is set for July 12-13 in Monterey, Calif.
