Dear Mango Friends:
The mango world continues to evolve and we are facing a number of important challenges in order to remain profitable in the mango business.
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden will hold its 21th Annual International Mango Festival on July 13, and 14, 2013 in South Florida. The theme of the festival for 2013 is, “The Mangos of Mexico”. The Fairchild International Mango Festival provides for the grower, exporter, importer, researcher and enthusiast a unique opportunity to learn about the mango, mango products and to network with other growers.
The Grower’s Summit 2013 will focus on the production of quality mangos. Held at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in the Coral Gables, this 1-day event allows for the opportunity to network with growers and to take an in-depth look at the production of quality in mango production world-wide. Registration for the Growers’ Summit will also provide for entry to both days of the International Mango Festival at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables.
Please join us this summer; we continue to address the challenges facing mango growers worldwide.
