The Mango Gower's Summit will be held on June 13, 2023, as part of the annual meeting of the Florida State Horticultural Society (FSHS). “Our goal is to open a space so that entrepreneurs in the mango industry can exchange advances on this crop. Our intention is to create an environment conducive to bringing the protagonists of the mango sector together,” stated Dr. Noris Ledesma.
“This is the third event being held as part of the FSHS annual program, with the intention of supporting the Mango Industry. The event is being sponsored by the National Mango Board so entrepreneurs and mango growers can have access to the meeting. This meeting is of a hybrid type, which means people from anywhere in the world can participate in it virtually. The presentations will be in English, but they'll be translated into Spanish.”
“The papers will be published in the FSHS scientific journal, where anyone will be able to access information from previous years' papers because the manuscripts take a year to be published,” Dr. Noris Ledesma added.
