BRAZILIAN MANGO EXPORTS UP IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2020

After 6 months of decreasing mango exports, Brazil recorded an increase in fruit sent abroad during July and August.

Data from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (SECEX), compiled by CEPEA / ESALQ, shows that shipments from January to June were 21% lower than in the same period last year. But in July and August, there was a 53% increase as compared to the same two-month period of 2019.

In addition to a greater demand for fruit, other countries that export mangoes had shorter harvests. Since Brazil produces mangoes all year, it was able to supply buyers during the windows that opened due to these shorter harvests in other countries.

The following graphs show the history of Brazilian mango exports month by month and the main destinations:

CEPEA noted that for the coming months, the strong pace is expected to remain steady thanks to purchases from both Europe and the United States. In addition, national production is expected to increase and peak, and the forecast is for good fruit quality.

The period from September to November is usually the peak of Brazilian mango shipments abroad. The exported mangoes are produced mainly in Vale do São Francisco, in the northeastern region of the country.
