Mangoes are commercially available here all year round, although the harvest time of the individual mango trees is limited to a maximum of three months a year. This is a very short period for tropical plants.
The harvest time varies depending on the growing region, but it is never long. This contributes to the fact that mangoes are among the relatively expensive fruits. Since mangoes are now grown practically all over the world, it's always harvest time somewhere. So there are always fresh mangoes on the market.
Different growing regions worldwide:
- India
- Brazil
- South Africa
- Caribbean
- Philippines
- Australia
