Orlando, FL. — The National Mango Board is celebrating mangos breaking the top ten in whole fruit volume velocity. In 2017, Mango held the number 17 spot. Mango’s movement to mainstream, along with support from the mango industry and retail partners has contributed to this growth throughout the last 5 years.
Adding to mango’s success, mango volume grew +0.7% in volume velocity versus a year ago while the fruit category as a whole decreased in volume by -3.5%. We know mango as the world’s most versatile and flavorful superfruit. We are thrilled to see that more and more people are inclined to agree while embracing the joy of mango.
Many resources, education, and hard work went into achieving this substantial growth. Congratulations to the retailers and entire mango industry that contributed to this achievement.
