The delegate of the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (Sagarpa) in Oaxaca, Adolfo Toledo Infanzon, stated that mango exports in 2018 had increased to 10,683 tons, i.e. more than 100% more than in 2017, which means that the demand for this product and the development opportunities for this productive sector are growing.
Adolfo Toledo Infanzon said that they had carried out management activities through the Mango Export Program 2018, which takes place in the Isthmus region, in coordination with the staff of the National Campaign Against Fruit Flies.
The federal official said that between January 10 and March 4 (week nine) this year, Oaxaca had exported 10,683 tons of mango, while in the same period of last year the region only exported 5,293 tons. The main destinations for these exports are the United States and Canada.
"The mango's phytosanitary quality, among other issues, is essential for its competitiveness and permanence in globalized markets," said the federal official.
