Tridge summary

Peru's mango exports to the United States have seen a significant increase this season, with a total of 18.9 million boxes expected by the end of the 2024/2025 season, marking a 217% rise from the previous season despite a 14% drop from the 2022/2023 season. The high volumes are attributed to the impact of El Niño on production. However, the season has faced logistical challenges such as container shortages and shipping delays, with a potential strike on the East Coast causing further issues.
