Freska Produce Seeing a Strong Market for Mangos
Freska Poduce International is continuing to ship Kent mangos out of Peru through the balance of this month and into the first part of March.
Tom Hall, Sales, tells AndNowUKnow, “The Peruvian market is still generally strong and we anticipate that the market will be firm to strong for the remainder of the month as we transition into our Mexican program.”
Sizing & volumes will remain consistent through the end of February and then drop as the company finishes the Peruvian season up in March.
“As Peru winds down, we have already started shipping the Mexican season and are currently supplying ataulfos out of Mexico. We will ship Ataulfos through July with consistent volumes, sizing will fluctuate throughout the season as transition between growing areas, but expect good volumes throughout the season, similar to the previous year,” Hall tells us.
The Mexican program will see minimal volumes out of Oaxaca on Tommys beginning in March, with volumes increasing in subsequent weeks as the season begins.
“We anticipate volumes and sizing to be good through the season as we finish up with Kents and then Keitts in September,” Hall notes.
