Title: The 'Tommy Atkins' Mango
Authors: R.J. Campbell and C.W. Campbell
Abstract:
Mango is among the most consumed fruits
of the world.
It is a highly versatile subsistence
and cash crop throughout the African, Asian
and the American Tropics and is increasingly
important as a cash crop for domestic sale
and for export in both tropical and subtropical
regions.
Within the United States mango
is the 12th most consumed fruit, with a rapidly
growing recognition and demand fueled by the
increasingly ethnic nature of the United States
marketplace.
Planting continues throughout
the tropics and subtropics on a subsistence,
small farmer and large-scale commercial level
in response to the growing local demand and
increasing demand of the export markets of
the United States, Europe and Asia.
