Tridge summary

Brazilian mango exports to Europe and the United States have seen significant growth between January and September of this year, with increases of 29.3% and 25% in volume respectively. Despite this, the mango industry faces challenges such as low export values, increased production costs, and issues with container exports. These challenges are particularly difficult for small and medium producers. Nevertheless, Brazil's fruit exports have seen a significant increase, reaching US$ 695 million from January to September, an increase of US$ 125.23 million from the same period last year. This growth is expected to allow Brazil to surpass the US$ 1 billion mark in fruit exports for the first time in over a decade.
