The NMB officers, together with the rest of the board members, will continue to uphold the NMB’s mission to increase consumption of mangos in the U.S. by bringing the industry together and educating consumers about the flavor, nutrition and health benefits of mangos.

“We congratulate and thank the newly elected officers for their commitment to the NMB and the mango industry,” said Manuel Michel, executive director of the NMB. “Their experience and leadership is invaluable to the NMB and is key to moving this organization forward as we continue to strengthen and support both fresh and frozen mango.”
