Eid Boosts Mango Trade in Rajshahi with High Production and Online Sales Surge

In Rajshahi, Bangladesh’s leading mango-producing region, the lead-up to Eid-ul-Azha has caused a mango trade surge. This surge is supported by a bumper harvest and growing demand across traditional and online platforms. Concerns that the festival might disrupt distribution have proven unfounded, as well-prepared logistics and sustained demand from local and urban centers like Dhaka have kept shipments steady. Although high yields have slightly lowered prices, growers remain profitable by tapping into digital sales channels, particularly those driven by young entrepreneurs leveraging social media and courier services for direct orchard-to-consumer delivery. The Rajshahi Department of Agricultural Extension has confirmed increased production and highlighted the transformative role of digital platforms in modernizing the region's mango economy.

Brazil’s Bahia Region Prepares for Mango Export Season

As Brazil’s Bahia region prepares to launch its mango export season to the United States (US) starting July 1, authorities are prioritizing strict pest control measures to meet international phytosanitary standards. The timing aligns with Brazil’s advantageous export window, when competitors like Ecuador have limited supply, offering a strategic market opportunity. The Bahia Agricultural Defense Agency (ADAB) urges enhanced fruit fly control in registered orchards. This effort is supported by training sessions in Petrolina and tools such as the MoscaZap monitoring system. The São Francisco Valley, spanning Bahia and Pernambuco, remains Brazil’s mango export hub, contributing 95% of national shipments due to its ideal growing conditions and well-developed infrastructure.

Mexico

Mexico's Mango Season Gains Momentum with Higher Volumes and Steady Demand

Mexico’s mango season is progressing steadily, with total output expected to reach 99 million cases, an 11% year-on-year (YoY) increase. Favorable weather has driven consistent quality, while the harvest has moved northward from early-season regions like Oaxaca and Chiapas to Michoacán, Nayarit, and Sinaloa. This timing aligns well with summer demand in the US, where mangos enjoy widespread popularity. Despite the larger supply, prices and demand have remained strong, particularly for premium-sized varieties like Kent and Tommy Atkins. Efficient logistics and cross-border operations have supported uninterrupted deliveries, enabling retailers to plan major seasonal promotions across North America.

Pakistan

Severe Weather Threatens Mango Yields in South Punjab, Pakistan

Mango growers in South Punjab, Pakistan, are facing significant losses due to severe weather conditions. Dust storms, heat waves, erratic winds, and pest outbreaks have reduced both fruit size and overall yield. Key districts like Multan, Rahim Yar Khan, and Bahawalpur are reporting sharp declines, with Multan alone anticipating a 40% reduction in fruit size and total output estimated at 426 thousand metric tons (mt). In response, the Punjab government is promoting climate-resilient practices through the Mango Small Tree System as part of the Green Punjab initiative. This is accompanied by training programs on pest management and safe ripening methods to reduce harmful chemical use. These efforts aim to safeguard the region’s mango sector and enhance its resilience in the face of escalating climate risks.

Philippines

Philippine Mangoes Make Commercial Debut in Italy

The Philippines has launched its first commercial shipment of mangoes to Italy, marking a key milestone in its efforts to expand into premium global markets. Sourced from farms in Pangasinan, the shipment overcame strict Italian import requirements with support from the Department of Agriculture, local agribusinesses, and the Philippine Embassy in Rome. This development aligns with the Philippine Mango Industry Roadmap 2021/25. It also supports broader initiatives under the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) One Country One Priority Product framework, which positions mangoes as a flagship crop. The Philippine government also aims to boost sectoral growth through a proposed USD 50 million project benefiting 27 thousand farming households. This initiative highlights the mango’s importance for job creation, export diversification, and agricultural resilience.

2. Weekly Pricing

Weekly Mango Pricing Important Exporters (USD/kg)

Yearly Change in Mango Pricing Important Exporters (W23 2024 to W23 2025) 

Mexico

Mexico’s mango prices declined by 1.68% week-on-week (WoW) to USD 1.02 per kilogram (kg) in W23, marking a sharp 24.26% YoY drop due to a significant rebound in production. While a drought last year slashed output by 20% to 30%, this season’s improved weather and optimized irrigation have restored volumes, easing long-term supply pressure. A modest month-on-month (MoM) gain of 1.24% reflects an early market adjustment linked to the first arrivals from southern Sinaloa and Escuinapa, where the beginning of the Ataúlfo season, typically running from May through August, has been slightly delayed by residual drought stress. This delay has temporarily tightened immediate availability, helping to sustain short-term price stability.

Peru

In Peru, mango prices rose sharply by 18.55% WoW to USD 0.75/kg and increased by 58.91% MoM in W23. This rebound was driven by a sudden and sharp reduction in supply as regions like Piura and Lambayeque reached the end of their peak harvest, tightening market availability. At the same time, strong demand from Asian and European markets, combined with early-season stock shortages, intensified competition, and helped support the upward trend. However, prices remain 53.03% lower YoY, reflecting the lingering impact of last season’s severe oversupply, during which growers reportedly dumped around 800 thousand mt of excess fruit, and export shipments fell sharply. As a result, last year's price collapse skews the YoY comparison, suggesting that current prices are stabilizing toward more typical levels rather than reaching new highs.

Brazil

In W23, Brazil’s mango prices eased slightly by 0.71% WoW to USD 1.49/kg. This reflects a 3.29% YoY fall due to a notable rebound in harvest volumes, particularly of Tommy and Palmer varieties, after recovering from last year’s reduced output in key production zones like São Francisco Valley. However, prices surged 24.11% MoM as export orders ramped up, especially from Europe, where orders spiked amid limited Peruvian and Mexican supply, tightening global availability, and driving a short-term jump in demand for Brazilian fruit.

India

Mango prices in India fell sharply by 9.48% WoW to USD 0.20/kg in W23, along with a 31.33% MoM and 37.77% YoY declines. This plunge resulted from a record-breaking local harvest, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, where oversupply has flooded the market. Meanwhile, demand from pulp factories plummeted, as they were already sitting on surplus inventories and scaled-down purchases, leaving growers with excess stock that drove down prices.

3. Actionable Recommendations

Shift to Climate-Resilient Varieties and Training

Mango producers should adopt climate-resilient varieties and implement structured grower training to reduce losses from extreme weather and pests. For example, switching to dwarf or early-maturing cultivars can help avoid peak heat periods, while varieties with better pest resistance, like Mallika or Amrapali, can limit damage in high-risk zones. In parallel, producers in affected regions such as South Asia, Africa, and Latin America should organize regular training sessions on integrated pest management, orchard ventilation techniques, and safe fruit ripening to maintain quality under volatile climate conditions.

Enhance Pest Monitoring Before the Export Launch

Mango producers should intensify pre-export pest monitoring and control to secure access to premium markets during low-supply windows. Growers in key export regions like Brazil’s São Francisco Valley, India’s Andhra Pradesh, and Peru’s Piura should deploy tools such as baited traps, systems like MoscaZap, and routine orchard inspections to detect and manage fruit fly infestations early. Training harvest crews on spotting signs of infestation and ensuring clean harvest practices will further minimize rejection risks in high-value markets like the US and the European Union (EU).
