At a critical mango-pricing timing, Selina Wamucii learned a few market expectations from Nicholas Bernal, CEO at Seasons Farm Fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicholas is confident that\u00a0post-El Ni\u00f1o sugar mango supplies from Colombia will gradually recoup price parity. The price will soon reflect that of the base import year, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPricing will be similar to 2023; however, as logistics improve and volumes increase we actually expect pricing to lower slightly and stabilize throughout the season.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also the premise that not all smallholder mangoes can be organic, given aseptic handling at ports and minimal spraying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll of our fruit for the US market is irradiated as a phytosanitary measure to mitigate for fruit fly, so it can not be sold as organic. All of these smaller producers practice&nbsp;sustainable agriculture, but some do use pesticides and fungicides as the warm,&nbsp;tropical climate of coastal Colombia can affect the fruit,\u201d says Nicholas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colombia first got the nod to export mangoes to the United States in November 2022. At the time of the decision, the Latin American nation was exporting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colombiaemb.org\/post\/colombian-mango-gains-access-to-u-s-market\"><u>$2 million\u00a0<\/u><\/a>to other regions, especially Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were around 350,000 metric tons in national production in end 2021, according to the Colombia Embassy in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sugar-mango\"><strong>Sugar Mango<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular for its low-brix level of 22, delectable sweetness and juiciness, this tiny mango has gained overwhelming popularity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its major point of appeal is natural cultivation without greenhouse control in the tropical climate of Colombia\u2019s Caribbean shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, the baby-sized fruit tends to be rather expensive. The low-season value can reach $3.49 per piece. This perhaps owes to the sugar mango\u2019s exclusiveness to tropical Colombia, whose season runs from March through August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-note-on-seasons-farm-fresh\"><strong>A Note on Seasons Farm Fresh<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With its base in south Florida,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/seasonsfarmfresh.com\/about-us\"><u>Seasons Farm Fresh<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is at the crossroads of trans-continental fresh fruit distribution.
