As part of the activities of Puerto Rican Week in New York, two companies from Puerto Rico head the list of recognitions and awards that will be given during the “Third Conversation on the Empowerment of Communities and the Opportunities for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses,” part of an organized effort to enable island businesses to market their products in New York State.
CAMPOFRESCO, producer of the iconic Lotus pineapple juice, and the Sesto Store in Aguadilla -- a company with many years in the sale of handicrafts in Puerto Rico -- will be recognized for their contribution to the economy of Puerto Rico and their excellent track record with their products and services.
“Small and medium-sized merchants, along with companies in Puerto Rico, will have the opportunity to expose their sales potential of products and services to a select audience that is eager to learn about the possibilities for products made on the island to be marketed in stores and supermarkets in the State of New York,” said Wilson Nazario, coordinator of the event. “This discussion will explore the opportunities manufacturers, merchants and owners of service companies have to expand their sales outside of Puerto Rico. All this will be part of the activities scheduled for Puerto Rican Week and the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York to be held between June 2 and 9, 2024, where participation is completely free. It is important to note that several heads of government of Puerto Rico have already confirmed that they will provide information on help available so that entrepreneurs can expand their sales and services in the United States.”
The one-day event will feature an exhibition of products, services, conferences, and a recognition and award ceremony as part of the work of the island delegation that will participate in Puerto Rican Week 2024 and the 67th National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York. According to reports, senators, representatives, mayors, business leaders, businessmen and artisans have already confirmed their participation in the event that will take place at “La Casa de la Herencia Puertorriqueña” located in “El Barrio’s Artspace PS 109” in Manhattan.
