Excitement continues to build around the mango category, and the National Mango Board is looking to parlay that enthusiasm for its namesake fruit into strong summer demand via several themed promotions.

For the past several months, mango supplies have been tight leading to much stronger pricing than normal, but it appears relief is on its way.

As spring unfolds and we look to warmer days, the National Mango Board is celebrating peak season with its Cinco de Mango campaign. This annual campaign encourages consumers nationwide to add fresh mango to their Cinco de Mayo dishes to combine rich mango culture with its beloved flavors for a festive twist on the traditional holiday.

After 40 years in the produce industry, I’ve seen a lot of change, and most of all, a lot of opportunity.

Dole Food Co. is expanding its tropical product portfolio with a full line of mangos.

During the March transition season for avocados and mangos, Mission Produce is featuring its Peruvian organics, its upcoming Mexican mango program and its Emeralds in the Rough avocado bags.
