Australia forecast to produce eight million trays of mangoes
The national forecast is for a bumper harvest of about eight million trays, which is well up on last year's crop of seven million trays.
Boyd Arthur, from the Australian Mango Industry Association, has been visiting mango growing regions across the north and says the flowering and fruit set in all areas has been impressive.
The Northern Territory is expected to produce half of the Australian crop during the 2014/15 season (four million trays), which will be a welcome relief for growers there, who last year suffered one of their worst season's on record.
Mangoes from the Territory have been trickling into the market since June, but the harvest will ramp up in mid to late October.
