With 20 years of experience directly importing mangos from South and Central America, one could certainly say that Mamaroneck, NY-based Panorama Produce Sales has mastered the art of mangos. “We specialize in mangos and we have an onsite inspector who inspects every pallet for quality, condition, pressure, Brix and internal color,” said Eric Nagelberg, who handles imports and sales for the company.
The South American mango deal is under way with fruit from Brazil arriving in stores around mid- to end of September, followed by mangos from Ecuador toward the end of September/beginning of October and Peruvian mangos starting in November, according to the National Mango Board. “So far we have not heard anything that could indicate issues regarding quality, therefore the assumption is that the quality will be as usual —from good to very good,” said Rolff Vladimir Mitton, research manager for the Mango Board.
