Australian farm sees Honey Gold delayed by fortnight
"A warm autumn and late winter flowering in all Honey Gold growing regions had delayed harvesting by a fortnight."
The Honey Gold mango season rolls on despite growers expecting a slight decrease in volume, consistent with lower yields for all varieties nationally.
The harvest of Honey Gold, a variety grown exclusively by Pinata Farms, began in the Northern Territory last November.
This would result in a drop of about 10 per cent in volume on last year's bumper crop, he said.
"We've had two great years consecutively, including a record crop in 2014-2015, so to back up with another reasonable crop - while not a record, is rewarding," he said.
