Shipper data obtained by IMO reveals that this weekend's arrival in Europe will bring some relief to the drought of supply in the market place as 43 containers of Tommy Atkins mangoes from Brazil will be distributed across the European union.
The United Kingdom finishing up with African, Middle eastern and Spanish mangoes will only receive two containers initially.
The bulk of the containers (30 to be exact) will be distributed via Holland for Germany and northern European markets.
The remaining 11 containers are destined for southern Europe via Spanish distribution channels.
The following week volume will gradually increase as 49 containers are scheduled for arrival with distribution spread out as follows:
Two containers for the United kingdom.
38 containers for Northern Europe.
Nine containers for southern Europe.
Two weeks from now expect weekly volume to peak as 73 containers that set sail from Brazil during week 34 should be arriving in Europe.
The United kingdom is scheduled to receive six containers.
55 containers are scheduled for Northern European distribution via Holland.
12 containers are destined for southern Europe.
This should be about the maximum weekly volume from Brazil for the remainder of the season, perhaps hitting the 80 to 90 container range, depending upon demand driven by supply from other sources.
