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:
