The picking of Peruvian mango has started, and this week the first container will be filled for transport to Europe. The expectation was that Peru would be much earlier, but they are only one or two weeks earlier than usual. Last week, the mango congress was in Peru, during which the harvest expectations were discussed. The volumes are 40 per cent higher this year, but sizes are smaller, according to Diana Sajami Tavra, from FCE Export from Peru.
Smaller sizes
Normally, Europe buys medium sizes
