Australia: Mango exports rising along with prices
"We used to be able to sell mangoes for 10-15c a tray, but those days are gone,” he said.
"Now that China has come into the market, we can expect prices to be more expensive locally.
"Last year they were about $20 a tray, but this year they're cheap at $25.”
He said the high price was a result of a strong export market, with new contenders wanting our sweet, yellow fruit.
"In China, they are paying about $10 each for a mango,” Mr Pugliese said.
"That means a lot are going overseas.”
