Wholesale Mango & Tropical Fruit Suppliers
The USA imports approximately 1.5 million tonnes of mangos annually, primarily from Mexico (Tommy Atkins, Kent, Ataulfo), Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, and Guatemala. USDA APHIS VHT (Vapour Heat Treatment) approval is required for mangos from most origins. Tropical fruit imports including pineapples, papayas, avocados, and lychees require USDA APHIS phytosanitary permits and, for certain commodities, specific approved treatments.
