Recent data compiled by Mexico's Hot water packing shed association (EMEX) reveals that through the end of July 2011, Mexico has shipped 46,585,239 (4kg) cartons to USA.
Last season's numbers were roughly 4 million cartons less at 42,662,265 through the same period.
Mexico was able to ship it's first Hot water treated fruit earlier than anytime in the past six seasons and almost one month earlier than last year.
This season Mexico shipped it's first commercial shipment of mangoes on the 22nd of January2011, as opposed to last season, when the first Mexican mangoes were shipped on the 15th of February 2010.
If the alternating cycle holds true, expect a later start next February, which would be a blessing for Peruvian exporters, who were blind sided by Mexico's early start this year and Peruvian poor market forecasting which flooded the USA market as early as March.
The top 10 exporters through July are as follows:
By State:
Michoacan has exported 12,114,819 (4kg) cartons. Southern Sinaloa has edged out Nayarit with 10,759,307 cartons shipped over Nayarit with 9,524,826 cartons and third place. These three states ship 75% of Mexico's mangoes. Not grow, Ship.
In a distant fourth is Chiapas with 4,884,197 cartons just eeking out Oaxaca with 4,499,787 cartons and fifth place.
Jalisco, strategically placed to pack Colima, Michoacan, Nayarit and Jalisco fruit is in sixth place with 3,078,718 cartons for the 2011 season.
Campeche with just one shed, shipped 701,436 cartons this season to USA.
Guerrero, another one shed wonder, shipped 367,470 cartons this season.
FRUIT FLY FREE ZONE FRUIT (3F):
The fruit fly free region in northern Sinaloa state has shipped 654,679 (4kg) cartons to date and that number will continue to grow through August. Tree ripened mangoes free of hot water treatment are now 20% of the USA market available fruit. This number will grow rapidly until Brazil steps into the deal by late August.
The top shippers from Mexico, so far this season are:
Shed # 357, Cultivares Mexicanos with 2,390,702 (4kg) cartons and still shipping in first place.
Shed # 316, Don Reyes from Michoacan, is holding on to second place with 2,266,932 cartons shipped for the season. Michoacan is done for the season and this number will be passed by the next two contenders.
Shed # 315, Agricola Alex with 2,224,838 from Nayarit is in third place.
Robertos Mango (Shed # 348) with 2,192,118 and still shipping from southern Sinaloa and currently in fourth place.
Diazteca (Shed # 355) has shipped 1,697,042 so far this season from Southern Sinaloa state and will more than likely end the season in fifth place for 2011.
Michoacan holds postions 6-8 with Shed # 307 having shipped 1,547,762 (4kg) cartons to date for the 2011 season. Shed # 306 is in 7th place with 1,521,646 cartons and 8th place is shed # 373 with 1,371,190 cartons for the eighth position.
Still shipping and in ninth position so far (and looking to pass to 8th spot) is Shed # 349 (naturamex) who has shipped 1,247,418 (4kg) cartons so far this season with time still on the clock.
10th place is another Michoacan shed (#374) with 1,156,439 cartons this season.
These ten sheds comprise almost 45% of all mangoes shipped to USA this season.
