As fraud grows more sophisticated across the fresh produce supply chain, industry leaders are coming together to help businesses stay one step ahead.

On April 21, 2026, experts from Blue Book Services, the Dispute Resolution Corporation (DRC), the Texas International Produce Association (TIPA) and Western Growers will host the 2026 Produce Fraud Forecast Webinar. The webinar will be a timely discussion focused on emerging threats and practical strategies to protect buyers, sellers and shippers across North America.

Recent data shows a concerning shift in fraud activity, with new and increasingly complex schemes targeting multiple points in the supply chain. From payment fraud to identity misrepresentation, these evolving tactics are putting financial and operational pressure on produce companies of all sizes.

The webinar will feature an all-start panel of industry experts, including Kirk Soule of Blue Book Services, Jaime Bustamante of the DRC, Dante Galeazzi of TIPA and Bryan Nickerson of Western Growers. The webinar is free to attend and open to all interested participants.
