Kenya is experiencing a slow apple mango export campaign with a total export volume for October of only 9 containers from HCD-Makueni, compared to 24 containers in October 2021. The low export volume is attributed to the prolonged Egyptian apple mango supply season and the reliance of Europe on the West African markets like Ghana and Senegal. The Russian market also contributed to the slow movement due to the fact that no major shipping lines (Maersk and CMA CGM) traversed the route due to sanctions. The current FOB price for Kenyan apple mango in W42 stands at USD 4.00/4kg, but on November 15 the price is expected to fall to USD 3.50/4kg. The commercial mango period is short and is expected to slow down in January.
