National Mango Board to host virtual industry outreach meeting
Attendees will see updated results and highlights from both NMB’s 2012 marketing and research programs. The NMB will also share how they are working on the mango industry’s behalf in the U.S. marketplace to educate consumers, increase mango consumption and improve mango quality. The NMB encourages mango industry members to join the webinar, as they will have the opportunity to ask questions during the session. This webinar will be conducted in English.
The NMB travels to the growing regions to meet with industry members, share details about the programs and results, and hear feedback from the growers, packers and exporters. The top mango importing port cities are also included on the industry outreach meeting schedule, allowing the NMB to meet face-to-face with importers, wholesalers and others who handle mangos in the U.S. According to NMB Executive Director William Watson, “The face-to-face outreach meetings have been very successful in helping us connect with mango industry members across the globe.” Watson continued, “This webinar provides another way for mango industry members to learn more about our programs and how we are supporting the mango industry from the comfort of their own offices.”
