In the 2023-2024 campaign, Peruvian exports of fresh mango totaled $237 million, reflecting a drop of 20 percent, compared to the $296 million reported in the previous campaign, the general manager of Fluctuante, David Sandoval, told Agraria.
In terms of volume, in the 2023-2024 campaign, 82,000 tons were shipped, showing a contraction of 68 percent compared to the 262,000 tons shipped in the previous campaign.
The smaller drop in value compared to volume is explained by the high price that the product registered in the international market due to the lower supply of the fruit.
Sandoval indicated that the price of fresh mango more than doubled (grew 145 percent), going from $1.55 per kilogram on average in the 2022-2023 campaign to $3.79 per kilo on average registered in the 2023-2024 campaign.
He also said that of the total volume shipped in the 2023-2024 campaign (82,000 tons), Piura was the main exporting region with 56,000 tons, reflecting a reduction of 74 percent, and participated with 68.3 percent of the total. It is followed by Áncash with 19,000 tons (down 20 percent) and Lambayeque with 7,000 tons (down 54 percent).
