If the observed trend continues, for the 2019-20 campaign, Peruvian mango exports will exceed the record volumes of the 2017-18 campaign. So far for this season, the growth of mango exports has reached 16% in volume and 17% in value.
According to the latest data, 183,000 tonnes of mangoes were exported for a value of $204.1 million. If the trend observed continues, this 2019-20 campaign will exceed the record results of the 2017-18 campaign.
Compared with the 2017-18 campaign, the 2019-20 campaign shows a growth in mango shipments of 16% in volume and 17% in value. This year the United States market (38% of shipments) surpassed the Netherlands market (37%) as the No. 1 destination for Peruvian mango exports.
Market diversification continues to be one of the main challenges for Peruvian exporters. Asia would be one of the best alternatives, especially South Korea, Japan and China.
