ORLANDO, FL - As different areas across North America respond as necessary to continued COVID-19 concerns, foodservice has been the branch of our industry most impacted by demands to remain fluid in recent months. As partners continue to strive to rethink and restructure a mainstay in consumer eating, the National Mango Board hosted a free Mango Strategy Webinar earlier this week.

“From the webinar hosted by the National Mango Board, everyone can see that mango is here to stay,” shared Marketing Manager Angela Serna. “Mango penetration has reached a milestone of 40% and, as consumers continue to crave the flavor of mango, operators are ensuring that this flavorful fruit is included in menus around the country. Delivery of high-quality whole, fresh-cut, and frozen mango is key for growth, which is expected to be an additional 10% in the next few years.”

In the webinar, the team shared insights on the current foodservice landscape and food trends for mangos, demonstrating ideas for culinary innovation and supply chain plans to help businesses not just continue, but grow.
