AGREEMENT INIFAP-NATIONAL MANGO BOARDAgreement • July 27th, 2018
Contract Type FiledJuly 27th, 2018Recently, demand for ripe and ready to eat mango has increased, offering an interesting possibility for mango producers in Mexico because of geographic closeness of the production sites with the USA markets. Most of the production sites are located within a maximum shipping time of five days by land to the furthest market in the USA. It is considered that the key aspects in producing ripe and ready to eat mango are as follows: 1. Ripening stage at harvest; 2. Requirement of quarantine hot water treatment (QHWT); 3. Temperature and length of refrigerated shipping, and 4. Handling in wholesale warehouse and during commercialization in retail supermarkets.
