The Spanish mango shipment campaign began in late August with quantities still below par. The campaign should be smaller, with volumes down 20 to 30 % in the Osteen variety, the spearhead of Spanish production. This fall is apparently attributable to the weather conditions and to the alternate bearing phenomenon in the orchards. The increase in volumes of this variety will probably arrive in mid-September, and continue until late October. Some batches of Tommy Atkins and Irwin are already supplying certain European markets. Kent, also registering a drop in quantity, should be available in late September-early October. The Keitt supply is anticipated in October and November. In October, the Spanish range should be enriched with some batches of Palmer.
According to the Málaga Young Growers’ Association, annual mango consumption in Spain has gone up from 0.210 g to 0.580 g/capita over the past five years.
