According to Hermann Vega, chairman of the Peruvian association of mango growers
Promango, the production of mango's will to a great extent decrease during the
coming season. The expectation is, that only 50,000 tons will be harvested, of which about 22,000 tons will be exported to the United States. Normally half of the production is exported to the United States and Europe.
As a result of the not-ideal temperatures during the flowering period the crop is expected to disappoint. Fertillization after the previous crop was also substandard.
