Despite operational restrictions and drought conditions, Mexico’s mango industry continues to demonstrate resilience. José Ángel Crespo, president of Empacadoras de Mango de Exportación (EMEX), shared that while there was a temporary drop of 3.52 million boxes in exports due to reduced production, Mexico is still on track to export over 62 million boxes of mango to the U.S. this year—the largest market for the fruit. This year’s export figure, though slightly lower than the 66 million boxes in 2023, reflects the industry’s ability to navigate challenges. Major mango-producing states like Sinaloa, Guerrero, Nayarit, and Michoacán continue to contribute to the strong export numbers. Additionally, Mexico remains a key supplier to global markets, including Canada, Spain, Japan, and France.
While some regions faced production restrictions, the post-season rainfall in Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Sinaloa has set the stage for improved harvests in the future. Mexico’s diverse mango varieties—such as Ataulfo, Haden, Tommy, Kent, and Keitt—remain in demand, with exports continuing strong despite the challenges posed by competitors like Guatemala and Costa Rica. Looking ahead, the industry is optimistic that continued favorable weather conditions and strategic planning will ensure Mexico’s place as a leading mango exporter. The ongoing efforts to overcome obstacles demonstrate the resilience and adaptability of Mexico’s mango producers.
