Japanese Mango Imports in 2008
by David Ivanovic
While wandering in the fresh produce section of a Seiyu store in Chiba Prefecture (east of Tokyo) in June 2008 (after the VD incident…), I could not but stop and admire the exotic fruit section. What got my attention was the Australian mango section: all perfectly riped, carefully wrapped and almost whispering to me how great they would taste! I didn’t mind the JPY 1,000 price tag (approx. US$10), I was charmed!
It’s been a while now since I haven’t followed mango imports in Japan, and I was once more surprised to realize how little the import volumes were, despite the obvious popularity of mango in the country. In 2008, a little more than 12,500 t. were shipped to Japan, for a CIF value of JPY 5 billion (roughly US$ 50 million).
Mexico is by far Japan’s number one supplier, with 45% of all imports in 2008 provided by this origin. Shipments from the Philippines amounted to nearly 30%, followed by Thailand (13%).
Just for fun, I have included today’s retail price of an Ataulfo mango from the Philippines (above), which at about $US1.50 represents the cheapest mangoes available in Japan. Now look at the link below and admire the Japanese grown “Eyes of the Sun”: http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=4248

EU15: Imports picking up in April
by David Ivanovic
Despite the fact that mango shipments were significantly lower for the 4 first months of 2009 (-26% when compared to 2008), April levels were up by 7%. Any insights on these recent movements are welcomed, however I suspect a higher demand due to a higher availability of Brazilian mangoes & lower prices due to poor demand in Feb/March.
