Since mid-January, the U.S. mango market has been stronger than what is typical at this time of the year, and all indications are that the hot market could last at least into late March.
"This week Peru is at the peak of its shipments and the market is still strong," Bill Vogel, president of Vision Produce Co. in Los Angeles and the current chairman of the National Mango Board, told The Produce News Feb. 19.
Vogel said by the third full week in February, Peruvian exporters had already sent more mangos to the U.S. market than they had the entire 2012-13 season, yet at higher prices.
"That's a testament to the good eating quality of the fruit," Vogel said. "Kents (Peru's main variety) is a variety that all of the ethnic groups really like."
