The NMB completed a palletization and packaging project with researchers and manufacturers. The results include an updated pallet design and an updated box design. Here is the final report from the Mango Packaging Task Force, which provides a 5-page summary of why the packaging and palletization projects were necessary.

  • Move fruit directly to cold storage of 50-54°F at receiving, depending on the variety
  • NEVER store whole mangos below 50° F
  • Maintain relative humidity at 90-95%
  • Scrub ethylene from cold room or do one fresh air exchange each day
  • Minimize exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures during loading and unloading
  • Outgoing trucks should be pre-cooled, but not below 50° F

  • Store whole mangos at 50-54°F depending on the variety, NEVER below 50° F
  • If stored at room temperature, order mangos more frequently
  • Display whole mangos at room temperature, NEVER in refrigeration
  • Inspect displays regularly and remove shriveled or injured fruit immediately

  • Build big displays. Mangos make up more than 40% of tropical fruit sales, so give them plenty of space
  • Bring displays up front. Mangos are often an impulse buy for shoppers
  • Move mangos out of tropicals and display next to seasonal fruit, such as stone fruit during summer or citrus during winter
  • Avoid bruising by not using wicker baskets or stacking fruit too high. Delicious ripe mangos are tender
  • Don’t refrigerate mangos at the store, not on display and not in the back room. Mangos will get chill damaged below 54 degrees F
  • Educate shoppers about mangos through POS materials and trained associates in the produce department.

[/cs_text][cs_text class=”best-practice-summary”]A summer 2015 store display test showed that merchandising mangos adjacent to stone fruit had a 45% net impact on mango volume and dollars, compared to the control panel, in which mangos were displayed in the tropicals set.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_inset=”0px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_inset=”0px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ _label=”Copy of MANGO MERCHANDISING” class=”mango-best-practices” style=”margin: 50px 0px 0px;padding: 0px 0px 45px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column bg_color=”hsla(0, 0%, 4%, 0)” fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_bears_heading_element fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ level=”h5″ color=”hsl(192, 100%, 43%)” font_size=”19″ class=”orange-heading” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;”]DOWNLOADS[/cs_bears_heading_element][/cs_column][/cs_row][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column bg_color=”hsla(0, 0%, 4%, 0)” fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]
