Rare Fruit Council International

We’re a tropical fruit community of growers, tasters, and curious gardeners who can’t get enough of nature’s sweetest creations. From mangoes to mamey, we celebrate every bite. If you love tropical fruits as much as we do, you’re in the right place!

Who We Are

Since 1955, the Rare Fruit Council International, Miami, has brought together South Florida’s tropical fruit community — a mix of growers, hobbyists, and fruit lovers who share a passion for cultivating and discovering rare fruits. As an educational non-profit, we’re dedicated to sharing knowledge, inspiring curiosity, and spreading the joy of tropical growing.
