Peruvian Mango Exports Show Irregular Distribution in 2023/24 Season, With North America Gaining Market Share

The distribution of Peruvian mango exports in the 2023/24 season displays an irregular pattern compared to the previous season. In W1, only 35% of the total volume exported is headed to Europe, a decrease from the 47% recorded in the previous season. Notably, the North American market is capturing a larger share of total mango exports this season, deviating from the typical distribution. This shift is attributed to the North American market's slightly more competitive sales prices and increased flexibility in accommodating external defects compared to Europe. The trend is expected to persist, especially with the rising incidence of defects in the fields due to moderate rainfall in the North of Peru.
