Mango Harvest in Far North Queensland Holds Strong Despite Flooding s

In Australia’s Far North Queensland, the mango harvest has ended with strong production and high-quality fruit despite challenges from earlier floods caused by persistent rainfall. Waterlogging and logistical challenges disrupted farm operations, while wet conditions led to pest issues and cold storage strain, forcing growers to find alternative market solutions. However, packout rates remained high at 94%. As the season ends, producers shift focus to pre-season planning, including pricing strategies, nutrition, and pesticide management to ensure a successful next harvest.

Bangladesh’s Naogaon District Expects Strong Mango Season

Naogaon, one of Bangladesh’s major mango-producing districts, is expected to achieve a record harvest valued at approximately USD 320 million, provided favorable weather continues. Cultivation has expanded to 30.5 thousand hectares (ha), with production expected to reach 450 thousand metric tons (mt), exceeding last year’s 425 thousand mt. Optimal temperatures have supported growth, though recent misty conditions have raised concerns about fungal infections, prompting farmers to apply preventive fungicides. Key production areas such as Sapahar and Porsha are seeing strong demand for varieties like Nag Fajli, Langra, and Am Rupali in local and international markets. With early blossoms and proactive disease management, growers and traders remain optimistic, already securing agreements for the anticipated bumper crop.

India

India’s Hapus Mango Prices Drop Amid Early Harvest

In India, the increased supply of Hapus mangoes at Vashi’s Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) market has led to a price decline, driven by early harvesting in response to rising temperatures. On March 17, 2025, 6 thousand crates arrived, with many smaller-sized mangoes. Prices have dropped by USD 6 to 12 per crate, now ranging from USD 36 to 72 per crate, compared to the previous USD 42 to 84 per crate. Although a strong harvest was anticipated, unpredictable weather, including a heatwave, impacted production. Farmers in Konkan, Karnataka, and Raigad have accelerated harvesting to prevent losses from premature fruit drop, affecting both fruit quality and market availability.

Vietnam’s Tiền Giang Province Exports First Green Mangoes to the US

Tiền Giang Province in Vietnam has achieved a major milestone in agricultural trade with its first export of green mangoes to the United States (US)–a one-ton shipment resulting from extensive negotiations between Vietnamese and US authorities. As a key fruit-producing region with 88 thousand ha under cultivation and an annual output of 1.8 million tons, Tiền Giang already exports to China, South Korea, Japan, and Europe. Entering the US market is expected to increase the value of Vietnamese mangoes, boost global presence, and ensure sustainable income for local farmers, creating new growth opportunities.

2. Weekly Pricing

Weekly Mango Pricing Important Exporters (USD/kg)

Yearly Change in Mango Pricing Important Exporters (W12 2024 to W12 2025) 

Peru

​In W12, mango prices in Peru increased by 11.90% week-on-week (WoW) to USD 0.47 per kilogram (kg), marking a 23.68% month-on-month (MoM) rise. This upward trend is primarily due to targeted marketing strategies implemented by the Peruvian Ministry for the Development of Agriculture and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) to support mango producers in Lambayeque, leading to increased demand. Additionally, a commercial agreement between the Earth Fruits Organics Producers Association and the Agroandino processing plant in San Pablo, Cajamarca, secured the sale of 420 tons of Kent mangoes for dehydration. However, year-on-year (YoY) prices declined by 59.13%, reflecting a substantial increase in production. The 2024/25 season is expected to yield approximately 340 thousand tons, a 55% YoY rise, due to improved climatic conditions and expanded use of irrigated crops, resulting in a higher overall market supply.

Brazil

​In W12, Brazil's mango prices fell by 13.22% WoW to USD 1.05/kg, with a 22.79% MoM decrease and a 22.22% YoY decline. This downward trend is primarily due to an oversupply in the domestic market as the harvest season progresses, particularly in key producing regions like the São Francisco Valley and Livramento de Nossa Senhora. The increased availability has exerted downward pressure on prices. Additionally, reduced export demand, influenced by logistical challenges and heightened competition from other mango-exporting countries, has contributed to the surplus in the local market, further depressing prices.

India

In W12, India's mango prices increased by 54.55% WoW to USD 0.68/kg, with a 36% MoM rise and a 126.67% YoY surge. This significant price escalation is primarily due to erratic weather conditions adversely affecting crop yields. Abnormally high temperatures in Feb-25, followed by unseasonal rainfall, have led to massive fruit drop, reducing overall production. This decrease in supply, coupled with sustained domestic and international demand, has driven prices upward. Additionally, lower production has impacted exports to key markets such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United Kingdom (UK), the US, and Qatar, further tightening supply and contributing to the price increase.

3. Actionable Recommendations

Enhance Pre-Season Planning for Consistent Quality

Mango producers in Far North Queensland should refine pre-season strategies by optimizing nutrition programs, improving drainage systems to mitigate waterlogging, and strengthening pest control measures. Investing in advanced cold storage solutions and securing flexible logistics partnerships can help prevent supply disruptions in future seasons.

Expand Export Capacity to Sustain US Market Entry

Mango exporters in Tiền Giang should invest in post-harvest handling, cold chain logistics, and quality certification to meet US market standards consistently. Strengthening partnerships with US importers and optimizing irradiation and packaging processes will ensure smooth shipments and boost long-term export potential.

Optimize Harvest Timing to Protect Prices

Mango farmers in Konkan, Karnataka, and Raigad should implement staggered harvesting and shading techniques to prevent premature fruit drop and maintain quality. Coordinating supply with market demand and using cold storage can help stabilize prices and reduce the impact of weather-driven fluctuations.
