Peruvian Kent mango, November to April
Kent makes up 98% of Peru's mango exports: low fiber, sweet, with the red blush retailers look for. We source from packing houses in Piura and Lambayeque and follow hot water treatment, inspection and loading for each container.
Fills the winter gap
Peru ships when Mexican and Brazilian volumes are low. The 2025/26 season ran from November into April.
The variety buyers ask for
Kent is nearly fiberless and cuts into clean cubes, for retail, fresh cut and food service.
Small growers, close to port
More than 5,000 smallholders grow Peru's export mangoes, mostly in Piura, a short drive from the port of Paita.
From smallholder orchards
Most Peruvian mangoes come from small family orchards. Consistency comes from the packing house, so that is where we check maturity, size and the hot water treatment record.
