Mangoes native to South and Southeast Asia, from where it has been distributed worldwide to become one of the most cultivated fruits in the tropics. It is the national fruit of India and the Philippines.
Many hundreds of named mango cultivars exist. World production is estimated at 40 million tonnes of which 1.1 million are traded internationally.
The continued trend for fibre-less varieties has led us to completely remove our orchards of Tommy Atkins and to replace entirely with the Kent variety, which is suited to the Peruvian climate, and a small amount of Keitt. Ataulfo and Edward are premium varieties also growing in Peru, they produce small fruit sizes with short shelf and very high sugar content with exceptional flavour.
