An industry source has disclosed that Australia's mango supply chain has received less than half of the required mangoes to meet the demand. This shortfall indicates a potential scarcity of mango-based products, including mango juice and dehydrated mangoes.
The mango season has concluded, with the final batch of mangoes being processed and dried. The scarcity suggests that Australia may exhaust its mango reserves before the onset of the next season. Contributing factors to the poor season include a warmer-than-average winter and a sudden prohibition on a widely used agricultural chemical.
