AGRIMUNDO.tv REQUESTS INTERVIEW WITH U.S.DA. CHIEF

 


AGRIMUNDO CONNECT













































The Right Honorable  

Tom Vilsack
Secretary of Agriculture
United States of America


Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir,

It is with great humility and gratitude that the undersigned request three separate efforts on your behalf.

First and foremost, we are pleased to
Inform you that in August of 2025, the International Mango Organization (IMO) will be commemorating our 25th anniversary. 


Over the years , Mr.Secretary, our humble
Global Trade Organization (GTO) has been acknowledged by Secretary’s of Agriculture from the United States of America (2003)’and the Philippines as well as world leaders of major fellow Global Trade Organizations (2000) and formal recognition by The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (2003). 

Contributions IMO Executive Director Will Cavan to the Permanent collection are a part of FAOs library.

Global Mango Conferences were held in La Quinta, California (2000), Vélez-Málaga, Spain (2003) and a joint conference with the Tropical fruit Curators at the USDA’s very own Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens in Coral Gables, Florida (2004).

The IMO BLOG (MANGO WORLD MAGAZINE) has been visited nearly 7,000,000 (yes, you read that correctly, Seven million times) from around the world since it’s inception.

Over the years the International Mango Organization (IMO) has been called upon by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to assist with such topics as Grades and Standards for mangoes (2005).

Our internal library consists of nearly 15,000 (fifteen thousand articles on just about any subject pertaining to Mangifera Indica as the mango is known in the scientific community.

After years of debate and research, we have finally found the holy grail for mangophiles.. the genesis of this most noble of fruits and considered in some cultures the KING of all fruits … the birthplace of the mango!

Which after extensive research we feel comfortable in claiming as the Chittagong Hill tract over  65 million years ago!


The IMO is also very proud to have fought for the U.S. consumers; and their right to a better eating piece of fruit , both from a food safety and nutritional perspective as well as promoting genetic diversity and  encouraging the preservation of the species via amplified genetic banks not only in the USA,
but around the globe.

We hope that in the not to distant future there will be a more diverse selection of mango cultivars in the state of California (Both Coastal and Desert environments) in addition to USDA gene banks in Florida (The original), Puerto Rico, and Hawaii (All humid environments)

In our research, The IMO is pleased to report that mangoes are being cultivated at extreme latitudes previously thought impossible!

In today’s ever changing climate we are also proud to encourage both farming techniques (in addition to cultivars) that will help both regenerate the soil as well as preserve precious resources, among them water.

A welcome and congratulatory note from your most esteemed office would be both honored and cherished by The International Mango Organization (IMO) and
Preserved for
Posterity in our Permanent Collection .

Thanking you in advance for your kind attention you our humble request,

Sincerely,

William (Will) Cavan

Executive Director

International Mango Organization (IMO)

BLUEBERRY 🫐 INDUSTRY THREATENED ON A GLOBAL SCALE

  While the fungus has predominantly been identified in blueberry plants, the species has been found to infect wheat, hops, grapes, and strawberries plants. The blueberry plant is native to America and is believed to be one of the first edible fruit-producing plants discovered by native people following the last ice age. In addition to being picked and eaten fresh, Native Americans incorporated blueberries into a variety of dishes that include soups, stews, preserves and puddings. However, early uses of the blueberry extended far beyond cultural cuisine, spilling into medicinal uses in combination with roots, stems, leaves and flowers. Known today as the highbush variety, the plant natively stretched from the arctic plains across what is now the United States down through Mexico and into some parts of South America.  Although this information about the disease is surfacing only recently, samples that were analyzed in the study conducted by the University of North Carolina incl...

WHERE OUR FAVORITE FOODS COME FROM

India: Mangoes It’s probably not a huge surprise that India takes the top spot on the list of the world’s biggest mango producers — the tropical fruit is native to the region and accounts for  50%  of the world supply.  But what you might not know is that mangoes from India only became an export available to the U.S. in the late aughts, when President George W. Bush reportedly allowed the import in exchange for India allowing  Harley-Davidson motorcycles into the South Asian country.  Still, India is not a top mango provider to the U.S., which instead imports most of its product from  Mexico, Peru, and Brazil .  Of the approximately 1,500 varieties of mangoes grown in India, the most popular — home and abroad — is the Alphonso, which is also known as the “ King of Mangoes. ” Vietnam: Pepper Black peppercorns are one of the most essential spices for any household pantry, and Vietnam is to thank for  nearly half  of the world’s output.  Th...
