The Mango Industry Reception, which was attended by 400 people, was extraordinary.
"The purpose of the event was to celebrate the Mango Retailer of the Year, a recognition that in 2022 was awarded to Kroger Co., and to bring together the mango industry in a pleasant atmosphere to socialize and establish contacts after a long day of work at the IFPA fair," stated Dr. Manuel Michel, the executive director of the National Mango Board.
“This was the first NMB Mango Reception since October 2019. For the past three years, many friends within the industry had not been able to meet in person due to the pandemic, so this year's Mango Reception was especially fun and memorable for many of the attendees.”
"We are very satisfied with this year's Reception. There's no doubt that it's been enormously positive and constructive, and that it has served the members of the industry to exchange views, experiences, and knowledge. It's been a very satisfying event for all.”

According to Dr. Manuel Michel, next year's Mango Reception will be held on Friday, October 20 in Anaheim, California.
Mango Retailer in 2022
The National Mango Board (NMB) has announced that The Kroger Co. was selected as the "Mango Retailer of the Year" 2022. Kroger has been selected from over 100 US retailers working with the NMB to promote mango consumption.
"Kroger and his family of companies have fundamentally changed their business model for mango in the US in recent years, and their willingness to identify mango as an opportunity has allowed this fruit to thrive, having a positive effect on the entire mango sector."
"The NMB appreciates Kroger's tireless support in increasing mango sales."
