FPAA announces elected Board Members for 2023

The NMB is projecting an almost 3% increase in weekly mango imports, as strong Mexican supplies continue to fill U.S. shelves.

Mexico should set another record for fresh mango export volume, in the estimation of Chris Ciruli, COO of Ciruli Bros.

Arizona-based mango grower Ciruli Brothers was honored with the Supplier All-Star Award, awarded by Whole Foods Market.

The Mexican mango deal had a slow start between March and April, but the weather has turned.

Sustainability, a top-of-mind topic for U.S. growers, shippers and retailers, is a priority south of the border as well.

The Mexican mango deal will be building as March rolls onto our calendars.
