Six months Later...The National mango Board (NMB) refuses to address the critical issues that the mango industry faces in the USA market. Throwing more money at a flawed product will not make it more appealing to the USA consumer.
This week, the NMB has choosen to ignore the IMO in our own backyard....

The National Mango Board (NMB) chooses to pat themselves on the back for collosal failures in promotion and crop projections suffered in 2011.
Rather than address the issues at this critical juncture for the mango industry, the NMB chooses to "whistle in the dark".
The dynamics of the mango world are changing and the NMB is watching idly as the proverbial "train leaves the station."
The IMO on the other hand has sent countless offers to the NMB for proposals to streamline the industry and address the changing dynamic in the mango industry.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome is not a recommended approach for the NMB.
The NMB has sat by and done absolutely nothing to address the Fruit Fly issues and how to get out of the vicious cycle that Hot Water Treatment has created to stall new sales of mango in the USA market.
