Researchers at the University of Florida are conducting studies on new mango varieties to determine their export potential, focusing on characteristics such as heat and cold sensitivity, and storage resistance. The study includes over 20 varieties, with an emphasis on aroma selection. Preliminary results suggest that the 'Rapoza' cultivar has higher productivity and better fruit color than the 'Kent' variety. However, more research is needed to include quality and flavor criteria, field production, and sustainable practices in mango cultivation. The diversity of cultivars is also highlighted as a challenge for the mango industry.

By Francisco Seva Rivadulla. International Agrifood Journalist. In order to better understand the latest research on new varieties of mangoes, we wanted to know the voice of an expert such as Dr. Noris Ledesma, Professor at the University of Florida and specialist in genetic resources of tropical fruit trees. Currently, his experience includes collecting genetic resources in all Latin American countries, China, the Philippines, South Africa, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and the Midwest. His most recent work is on the development of new mango hybrids, using other species of mangiferas, resistant to diseases and adapted to supertropical areas. In addition, it studies more than 600 mango varieties in the world, and 30 species of mangiferas. According to Dr. Noris Ledesma, “researchers from the University of Florida, sponsored by the National Mago Board, are carrying out several studies on mango varieties to determine their export potential. In this study, sensitivity to heat, ...
