Northern Territory Mango Industry Association ( NTMIA )
The mango growers of the NT evolved as a group with the creation of the NTHA in 1980. By the 1990’s mango growers were the largest group within the NTHA and provided much of the direction for the recent development of the horticulture industry in the NT.
The NTMIA became incorporated as a body in 2001 in the industry organizations restructure which saw the NTHA take on the formal role of umbrella body for all the horticulture industries of the NT and service provider for the affiliated commodity groups.
The structure of the NTMIA guarantees full cross representation on the NTMIA board with board members representing small, medium and large-scale growers.
The Northern Territory Mango Industry Association (NTMIA) provides a vital focus for the NT mango growers, packers and allied industry.
