Three new mango varieties are out for public tender.
The varieties have taken 15 years to develop, and they're said to taste like the popular Kensington Pride mango, but are more productive and look better.
Queensland Department of Primary Industries horticulturalist Dr Ian Bally, says they now need industry partners to take the mangoes through to commercialisation.
"The earliest the consumer is likely to see these on the shelf is probably five years from now," he says.
"These varieties have to be grown up in large numbers and made available to the market. This is one of the reasons we're calling for expressions of interest from commercial partners to help us in this ramping up procedure."
