The National Watermelon Promotion Board (NWPB) operates with a single objective: to increase demand for watermelon through promotion, research, and education. The Orlando-based non-profit organization was formed in 1989 by watermelon growers and shippers. Today, the NWPB represents growers, shippers and importers of watermelon in the United States. These members fund the organization through mandated assessments.
