How juicy! — mango season is back
Australian Mango season has begun and Australians can expect the fruit to start hitting supermarket shelves across the country.
National distribution levels are estimated to reach 230,000 trays in late September, with Aussies expected to indulge in close to 180 million mangoes over the coming months.
“After a year of dreary weather and negative news, Australians can look forward to tasting the sunshine with the sweet tropical flavour of Australian Mangoes,” said Brett Kelly, CEO of Australian Mangoes.
“The excellent growing conditions over the recent months has meant we are harvesting an abundance of fruit in prime condition. We can’t wait to share these with Aussies to slice, dice and devour all the delicious, juicy goodness of our Australian Mangoes.”
The season officially launched on 29 September at the annual Brisbane Produce Market Mango Auction, raising money for children’s cancer charity Redkite and The Lady Musgrave Trust for homeless women.
The winning tray of Mangoes sold for AU$20K, contributing to over AU$1 million that the auction has raised for Queensland charities since 2002.
