You may recall the observations that accompanied the 2013 Ivorian mango season in Europe. Besides the late start of exports, the volumes available always seemed insufficient, in view of lively demand bolstered by prices well above 5.50 euros/box until mid-June. Mangoes, it was said, were scarce, and the production was not as big as initially declared. The perspective afforded since the end of the season and by the release of the European statistics call such thinking into question. Ultimately, the tonnages exported by Côte d'Ivoire were identical to 2012, a record year for the source. This statistical hiatus serves to show the difficulty of inputting reliable information in real time. It also teaches us that Côte d'Ivoire remains more than ever an essential mango supplier for the European market. The comparison of monthly imports nonetheless clearly reveals a marketing shift in 2013, to later than in 2012, with the seasonal peak in May, smaller tonnages in April and a longer extension into June.
