THE Australian mango industry has met to refine its focus areas for best management practice.
Hosted by Australian Mangoes, the 12th Biennial Australian Mango Mangoes Conference was held in Darwin in May with strong support from both growers and sponsors.
Australian Mangoes chief executive officer, Robert Gray, said it was a great conference and it was pleasing to see so many industry stakeholders in attendance.
"There truly was a great turn out from everyone in our industry, across the supply chain," he said.

"A key highlight of the event was the announcement of our focus areas of our best practice management resource; supply chain temperature management, decision to pick, and orchard management.
"The industry will concentrate on building this resource over the next three years.
"The Australian Mangoes team is excited to be working on this project, together with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Northern Territory Department of Primary Industry and Resources (NTDPIR), Western Australia Department of Primary Industry and Regional Development (WADPIRD) and NT Farmers."
Australian Mangoes thanked everyone that attended, presented and supported the conference.
The next conference will be held in 2021.
