It is offshore mango season in North America and Europe, which means the majority of supply is coming from South America currently. The big question is how much volume will come from Peru this season after an early and strong start with Kent mangoes. Brazil had a rough start with exports to the U.S. with port strikes, inconsistencies in deliveries and limited space on vessels. Ecuador is expecting a better season too. South Africa’s mango crop of 2024/2025 will be 10% to 20% lower than last year as a result of strong winds knocking off fruit and sunburn. Mozambique has started their crop to supply South African retailers. Egypt had abundant volumes with their mango export season ending at the beginning of November. West African mango growing countries had mixed fortunes – Senegal’s mango export industry is in the midst of a crisis. Côte d’Ivoire had a successful season thanks to good weather conditions and strong European demand. Mali’s season was marked by higher volumes than the previous season, especially for the Kent variety.
