Abstract
The Australian National Mango Breeding Program was initiated in 1994 between four state, territory and federal agricultural organisations.
The first outputs are three new hybrid mango varieties, known as NMBP-1201, NMBP- 1243 and NMBP-4069. In 2022 Mango Road Pty Ltd (part of the Manbulloo Group) was awarded the management rights for the NMBP mango varieties.
They were renamed Yess! (NMBP 1243), Ahhh! (NMBP-1201) and Gee! (NMBP-4069).
The Australian National Mango Breeding Program (NMBP) was initiated in 1994. The project was a collaboration between agricultural agencies in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, and CSIRO.
The purpose was to develop superior mango genotypes by crossing the standard Australian variety, Kensington Pride (KP), with a range of Floridian, Indian and Asian cultivars.
