Weather conditions have helped to launch an earlier start to “miniature” (dwarf mangos) from the Colombia’s Caribbean Coast. Production season is typically from early March until June each year, with exports beginning after the second week’s harvest.
Goldenberry Farms of Miami, FL has branded their Sugar Mango brand of miniature mangos since 2021, which has grown in popularity with more than 20 large retailers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This year, the focus of the brand is traceability and improved product differentiation.
Miniature mangos are sourced from small family mango farms on the Caribbean Coast.
“Small producers are responsible for 40% of the agricultural yield in counties such as Ecuador and Colombia, however generally do not have access to export markets,” says Michelle Anders, communications director for Goldenberry Farms.
Goldenberry Farms SA exports “Sugar Mango” branded mini mangos to the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and Hong Kong. The brand includes unique presentations, only first quality fruit is able to be included in the branded export programs.
