Product Features
The
mango is the principal export product of our company.
We offer Kent, Haden and Tommy Atkins varieties.
This product is purchased for its consumption
at home, as fresh fruit or in homemade preparations
of juice, jam and pastry cooking.
It is a fruit rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium,
phosphorus, vitamin A and some amino acids and
has a low content of sugar and calories. Its exotic
flavor has attracted the interest of markets where
it was not consumed previously.
The harvest period depends on the region where
the plantations are placed. It starts in December
in the department of Piura and then occurs later
in to the south of the country as is shown in
the following chart:
