Producer/Farm -> Packing house -> Storage/Logistics Company-> Exporters -> Consumer
Thai mango producers send mangoes to packing houses, where mangoes are stored or sent to logistic companies that store mangoes in warehouses before export. Packing houses can export directly or export through logistic companies. In the case of Nam Dok Mai mango, the volume usually comes directly from farms around Bangkok such as Pathumthani, Suphanburi, Uthaitani, and Southern like Prachuabkirikhun. However, In some cases, packing houses can procure cheaper mangoes because they own mango farms, but they usually purchase mangoes from suppliers.
The packing house significantly influences the supply chain because not many suppliers can export mangoes. Furthermore, packing houses have more impact because sorting occurs in the packing house (sorting is a procedure when exporting mangoes).
