The mango season in 2019 is slightly late in comparison with previous years. Mango trees were late to blossom because of the arid weather. The mangoes therefore matured later than in previous years. The key factor in the sweetness of mangoes is rainfall, and since this was a relatively dry season, the mangoes are quite sweet.
People in the industry say that there are two reasons for the chaotic mango market: first, rainfall during the blossom season disturbed the uniform product quality of mangoes. In addition, there were problems with plantation management. This means that both production volume and product quality declined this year. Second, the snowfall in north China and the rainfall in south China during New Year's complicated the distribution of mangoes. This created an accumulation of mangoes that led to unmarketable fruit.
As for the price, the average price will possibly rise later this season. The main reason for this development is the limited production volume. It is difficult to say whether the price increase will be large or small, which will depend on the ability of the market to absorb the mango supply volume.
