Los Mochis mangoes are a signal of the end of the Mexican mango season, a long journey that moves up Mexico’s Pacific rim. This week marks the Crespo Organic move to Los Mochis, for the final leg of the Mexican mango journey, ending with the keitt mango. Crespo’s organic orchards in Los Mochis are located in a late producing area, making for an exceptionally longer than normal season. Fruit is predicted to exist through the third week of September and perhaps longer. Fruit quality is expected to continue to be above average with firm flesh, high brix and clean skin.
Los Mochis is the only fly free zone for mangoes in mainland Mexico and thus the fruit from this region does not have to undergo the normal USDA hot water bath treatment for imported organic mangoes. Jose Angel Crespo, who manages the organic program for the Crespo family, predicts a very good Los Mochis season for RCF and their Crespo Organic mangoes, citing “The fruit this season in our later producing orchards has the high quality stan-dards the organic market is looking for, allowing us to fill late season demands.”
The Kiett mango is one of the most popular organic mangoes, the lack of fiber and the exceptionally sweet and subtly tart flesh make it a favorite among organic consumers. Unlike the California keitt, which produces a very large size and expensive fruit, the Crespo Organic Los Mochis keitt will be offered in normal organic sizing. “The fact that it is untreated, clean skinned, excellent quality fruit and falls in the consumer “sweet spot” price wise, will give us an incredi-ble advantage to the California organic keitt mango”, says sales and marketing manager Nissa Pierson. Volumes are stable and over all Crespo Organic expects to end the season with satisfied customers and consumers.
Expect the same value added glut of marketing materials to end the season with mango education and a perpetual buzz over the category.
